https://jessica.substack.com/p/god-demands-justice-the-gops-chillingPicture this: violent anti-abortion protesters swarming every clinic in every state. Theyre no longer required to stay a hundred feet from the entrance, and nothing stops them from blocking patients trying to get inside. The screaming and terrorizing weve witnessed for years now happens inches from patients faces. When protesters are arrested, they file First Amendment lawsuitsand they win.
Right now, America is on the brink of a new era of extreme anti-abortion violence, one where radicals can terrorize women and doctors unchecked. This kind of dangerous free reign is right around the cornernot just in states with bans, but everywhere. And its been gift-wrapped by men who campaigned as abortion moderates.
On Thursday, Donald Trump pardoned nearly two dozen extremists convicted of attacking abortion clinics across the country. The activists, who our felon president called peaceful and elderly, forced their way into clinics, terrorized patients, and blocked them from entering the building for care. In Michigan, that included a woman whose pregnancy had just been diagnosed with a fatal abnormality and whose health was at risk. In DC, a patient was forced to climb through a window to access the building, while pro-life activists refused to let another woman see a doctor even after she collapsed in pain.
And the protesters that Republicans depict as praying grannies? One told a Manhattan clinic were gonna terrorize you so good, and crushed a staff members hand in a door. Another was found with a half a dozen fetuses hidden in her home.
What Trump offered last week werent just pardons, they were permission.
