Grudging credit

Well, what do you know? A local "pro-family action center" gave grudging credit last month to the ACLU of Massachusetts for defending the First Amendment:

"In a rare move, ACLU agrees... that you can't suspend the 1st Amendment!"

There's no direct link to the quote, but you can currently scroll down to it on the homepage of massresistance.org. It's about our oppostion to legislation that would expand protest buffer zones. As we told the Boston Globe, "We're strong supporters of reproductive freedom, but we're also strong supporters of freedom of expression."

A rare move? The ACLU has been defending free expression -- and the freedom of religion and belief -- for 87 years.
