As Supreme Court challenges to Roe v. Wade produce a pervasive haze of fear concerning reproductive rights protections, a steady stream of active physical threats against abortion clinics continues.
Moms basement, video games, and social media are not the right input for uneducated, bored, white males. Their underutilized gray matter is a Petri dish for unhealthy, unbalanced rationale that has no basis in fact.
This doesn't quite track. If Roe v Wade is overturned, the people who will be protesting--and I'm not sure how peaceful it will be--are pro-choice advocates. Look for millions of us in D.C.
Someday I’ll tell you the whole story about working at the very first PP clinic that offered abortions in St.Paul, MN in February 1977, including the daily harassment by protestors and scary things they did to my car. I lived across the street from the clinic , was a nursing student, and volunteered teaching birth control classes and filing medical records. I left work at 10 one February night to go pick up my then-husband at law school and as we approached home saw the clinic explode in flames. We called the fire department. I called Tom Webber (executive director) at home. It was horrifying. Tom took me on a tour of the burned building the next day. I’ll never forget it. No one was hurt. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, and this first arson kicked off a string of them across the country that continue unabated all these decades later.
With a rigged Supreme Court, readying to hear the Roe case again, I fear Planned Parenthood is about to have more deranged, religious right fights ahead! I know it’s absurd however, half the denizens of this country are peerless in vacuous idiocy!

If you think that it's bad now, just wait until the Supreme Court officially overrules Roe v. Wade.................

I disagree, respectfully. The way I see it, anti-choice activists will be emboldened to attack the clinics that do remain open.
I hope that I'm wrong, though.
I missed that point the first time around. But you're right, if clinics remain open, they will be subject to more attacks.

“When will we start shooting? It[‘]s about time we kill these genocidal demons.”
Seriously? Kill people for killing people?
