Abortion extremists threaten to kill justices if Roe overturned

 Axios:

The U.S. government is bracing for a potential surge in political violence once the Supreme Court hands down the ruling that's expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Axios.

The big picture: Law enforcement agencies are investigating social-media threats to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their clerks, as well as attacks targeting places of worship and abortion clinics.

Details: The unclassified May 13 memo by DHS' intelligence arm says threats that followed the leak of a draft opinion — targeting Supreme Court Justices, lawmakers and other public officials, as well as clergy and health care providers — "are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling."

...

The reaction to the unreleased opinion overturning Roe has suggested violence by proponents of abortion.  I am not aware of any threats of violence against abortion clinics following the report of the opinion and can't imagine why there might be.  It should be noted that overturning Roe does not mean the end of abortions.  It means it will be up to the states to decide whether to regulate or prohibit the procedure.

And for one of the most ridiculous takes on abortion:

This stands history on its head.  Those who began the push for legalizing abortion wanted it to reduce the black population, and they were in fact successful in some regard in doing that.  The opposition to Roe has been basically a challenge to the morality of destroying life in the womb regardless of race.
