Mary Meehan Biography
- Title:
- Writer
- Position:
- Con to the question "Is the ACLU Good for America?"
- Reasoning:
-
“… [T]he ACLU’s biggest problem is not its failure to live up to outsiders’ standards. It sometimes violates its own traditions and principles in a radical way. This is especially true of its long and relentless campaign against the right to life of unborn children… The defender of free speech helps ensure that millions of human beings will never have a chance to speak–or to exercise freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right of assembly, and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.”
