I dunno if that's the best analogy.
From the way I heard the story, the adulteress in question was not demanding that those who wanted to stone her pay for her contraception and medical claims for infectuous diseases derived from her "alternative lifestyle". Nor was she claiming that what she was doing was not only not a sin, but that she takes pride in it, and calling anyone who disagreed a bigot.
I don't think Jesus's line would've had quite the same effect on the crowd if she were.

Yes, and Christ said to "go and sin no more." He certainly wasn't sanctioning her conduct.

Jesus was a loving person, supposedly. I don't think he would sanction what these people(county officials) are trying to do. Whatever happened to their right of privacy? They aren't harming anyone doing what they're doing.
