The violence of the pro-aborts

 Sarah Westwood:

Violence and threats against the anti-abortion movement have increased in recent weeks as the Supreme Court prepares to issue opinions in a landmark abortion case.

An alleged assassin targeting conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh generated headlines this week after police say they arrested an armed man near Kavanaugh’s family home.

But attacks against crisis pregnancy centers, some of them faith-based, have risen steadily since the leak of a draft opinion in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which suggested the court is considering overturning the legal precedent that prevents states from banning abortion.

A Washington Examiner review identified recent incidents of arson, vandalism, or both at at least 13 anti-abortion centers across the country.

Police are investigating an alleged arson at a crisis pregnancy center in Buffalo, New York, on Tuesday after a fire destroyed much of a Christian pregnancy center and injured two of the firemen who responded to it.

Investigations are underway at several other pregnancy centers hit by Molotov cocktails in the month since the Dobbs opinion leaked, including in Keizer, Oregon , and in Madison, Wisconsin .

But police have made few arrests, if any.

An extreme pro-abortion group known as Jane’s Revenge has seemingly claimed credit for a number of the incidents.

In Washington, D.C., a crisis pregnancy center near the U.S. Capitol was hit with vandalism that included red paint splashed on its door, resembling blood, and a spray-painted message: “Jane Says Revenge.”

In Lynnwood, Washington, threatening spray-painted messages at the Next Step Pregnancy Center included: “Abortion isn’t safe, neither are you” and “Jane’s revenge.” The suspects in the attack also threw rocks at the building, shattering several windows.

An Asheville, North Carolina, pregnancy center was defaced with a similar message: “If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you.”

The same message was spray-painted onto a pregnancy center in Reisterstown, Maryland, as well.

The Biden administration prepared a memo last month that said the Department of Homeland Security is bracing for unrest related to the looming decision in Dobbs but did not specify one side as being more likely to engage in violence.

Led by Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), 16 Republican senators wrote in a letter this week to Attorney General Merrick Garland “to request information about how the Department of Justice is addressing the disturbing trend of harassment, intimidation, and violence against religious and other pro-life organizations and individuals in the aftermath of the leaked draft opinion.”

A spokesperson for Moran told the Washington Examiner the Justice Department had not yet responded to the letter as of Friday.
...

This appears to be violence that the left in this country supports.  They seem to have an emotional tie to the abortion business and its providers.  I am old enough to remember when the more traditional response to an unwanted pregnancy was putting the baby up for adoption.  I remember having many of those adopted children as friends growing up.  They mostly went on to productive lives.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
