Just because a law is on the books does not mean that it’s lawful. I talk about the difference of ‘legal’ and ‘lawful.’ It used to be legal to own slaves, but that didn’t make it lawful. It used to be legal to restrict someone of color to the back of bus … Just because a piece of legislation says it’s legal to murder the unborn doesn’t make it lawful.
— New Hampshire County Sheriff candidate Frank Szabo (R), quoted by Bedford Patch, refusing to back off comments that deadly force is an appropriate means to prevent abortion.
