But, you know, the notion that we're going to criminalize priests, for example, or doctors who are providing services to individuals, and throw them in jail for doing what their calling asks them to do, which is to provide help and service to people in need, I think that is a mistake. I think that's out of America's character.

In truth, the ways in which your character is built have to do with all three of those. Those around you, those you choose, and those who choose you.
