“I also don't remember any “urban anti-abortion rioting” in the last century or this one. I also never heard of the “anti-abortion riots of 1834 and 1835 (more than a dozen).” It looks like the writer (or editor or publisher) wanted to say “anti-abolition” or “anti-abolitionist” and got confused (or spellchecked).”

I agree with you here. The post (Brother Joe #343) was totally not credible. Confused as you say.

I only brought it up again - - in a very, very understated way - - to challenge my good friend Brother Joe about the stuff he grabs off the Internet and puts forward when he gets his upper body parts caught in the wringer. I love that man.

Nothing "confused" about it, beyond the spellings of "abortion" and "abolition".
Otherwise, it's a simple definition & examples listed of "domestic insurrections", including, secondarily, slave revolts.
But there were no slave revolts at the time of Jefferson's D.O.I.
Nor did Lord Dunmore call for ("excite") slaves to revolt.
