Another woman doctor was recently appointed to take Dr. Acton’s place. She withdrew before she even started the job — cited “personal reasons” — a.k.a. threats.
I am in total shock that people I know can support this kind of America.
Do they even know these things are happening? If so, how can they support it — by what they say — or with sinister, tacit approval? (shudder)

Agree completely that it is sad that individuals and groups of individuals can threaten judges, politicians (like these two women, rather elected or appointed to the post), police, etc. but..... IF threats, just like appeasements, did not work so well (BOTH women resigned, and make no mistake, I am NOT saying that was not the right move for these women at all) then threats would not be a tactic that would be in use very long ! Of course people are going to choose successful tactics; just look at the numbers of police chiefs, officers, mayors, councilmen (and a councilwoman where one of my cousins resides in a retirement area just resigned last week), and others who have resigned as a result of successful threats ! UNFORTUNATELY, threats work ! Prayer does work, maybe we of various religions and denominations should get together, those who feel protected by masks, WEAR them, those who doubt their value, don't wear one, but sure wouldn't hurt to get together in all these outdoor spaces we have around here and PRAY. Even some devout believers may just be surprised at the results !
