This from the Washington Post story on Eric Rudolph's sentencing in the Birmingham abortion clinic bombing:
<<[Clinic nurse Emily] Lyons was wounded by flying nails and other shrapnel [from Rudolph's bomb]. She has undergone 21 operations, lost her left eye and has scars on her arms and legs. She is no longer able to work.
But she said Rudolph failed to deter her or the work of the women's clinic.
"I faced five pounds of dynamite and hundreds of nails yet I survived," she said. "Do I look afraid? You damaged my body, but you did not create the fear you sought.">>
One of these days, we're all going to have to stand up and be counted as she was. May I find the same level of courage.
