We live in a society of laws, and we must respect those laws whether or not we agree with them.

Thankfully, our Founding Fathers felt differently.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ...
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Your opposition to a law prohibiting the posting of abortion doctor's names and addresses doesn't quite meet the threshold for armed rebellion.

This kind of inflammatory rhetoric ought to be illegal. It's dangerous. (sarc)
