Also, a quote by Westwind should have read, "All religions practice magic. When an entire Christian congregation prays for the death of a pro-choice Supreme Court Justice, that's a form of negative magic."
"Orgies and group sex are something we do not practice," Westwind said.

WHEN EXTOLLING ABORTION, WHY WON'T ANN LANDERS ACKNOWLEDGE THE INCREASINGLY OBVIOUS?
Ann Landers' column of April 4 contains a letter from a Maryland woman who feels that pro-life demonstrators at abortion clinics are: 1. insensitive because they insist, in Ms. Landers' words, "every pregnancy results in a live birth;" 2. disruptive because of their, as the Maryland resident puts it, "shriking and moaning;" and 3. hypocritical because they aren't doing something the Maryland communicant considers "constructive instead of trying to obstruct justice."
After stating that pro-life demonstrators "should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for interfering with the rights of others," Ms. Landers asks the pro-life activists to "prove . . . (they) are sincere" by adopting a handicapped or minority child because such children "are the ones who need homes."
Civil rights demonstrators of the 1950'S and 1960'S weren't asked to prove their sincerity by suffering mental or physical abuse comparable to that endured by blacks in areas with de jure segregation. Those objecting to our involvement in the Vietnam conflict usually weren't impugned for not having assisted veterans or served in the military. The vigorously proclaimed message of each group was universally understood and their sincerity taken for granted.
As the same can be said of the pro-life contingent's message, why is this group's sincerity questioned by Ms. Landers with her irrelevant sincerity test and the Maryland woman wanting "constructive" action? Because these two women fail to see that pro-life demonstrators are protesting the governmentally-condoned killing of helpless babies. Ms. Landers and her Maryland reader's confusion—a state of mind characteristic of "pro-choice" devotees—is understandable when one reflects on their movement's recent evolution.
Although the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) recognizes, in a publication entitled Our Endangered Rights, that the intrauterine being is alive when it (the ACLU) mentions "the State's interest in protecting unborn life," the ACLU began calling for the legitimation of abortion five years before the Roe v. Wade decision.
Seven members of the 1973 Supreme Court went a step further than the ACLU when they concluded, in the Roe v. Wade decision, that the rapidly developing intrauterine being was a "theory of life" who became a "potential life" during the last trimester and thus no longer merited the unqualified legal protection accorded live human beings.
In the January 26, 1989, New York Times, noted author Erica Jong strides past the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling when she describes a "human life . . . (as) a continuum from conception to old age." Despite both her knowing "the fetus grows for nine months in a woman's uterus" and desiring "a nation in which the whole continuum of human life is considered and honored," she thinks "the foes of legal abortion are clearly pro-death."
While Ms. Jong, Ms. Landers, Ms. Landers' Maryland fan and many others don't realize it, any medical procedure which enables the relatively powerful to mutilate (dilation and curettage), poison (saline abortion) or otherwise brutally kill the innocent and helpless should be unacceptable in a free country. (Committed leaders like William DuBois, Walter White, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—each of whom was seeking justice, not power—would have considered legitimized abortion an agent of racism rather than liberation nearly one in every three unborn babies killed by mostly white abortionists is either black or Hispanic.)
Although, as a group of distinguished physicians, two of whom are past presidents of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told President Reagan in a February 13, 1984, letter, "The unborn, prematurely born and the newborn of the human species is a highly complex, sentient, functioning individual organism—(which responds) to stimuli," Ms. Landers, her Maryland reader, Ms. Jong and others support a procedure which features a fetus recoiling and writing in pain as it is being surgically aborted.
While understanding why Ms. Landers, who supports legitimized abortion, won't acknowledge the increasingly obvious, I'm unable to sympathize with her.
