Matt: 5: 11-12
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
So I say when people attack you for your beliefs, smile. It will drive them crazy.
However, there is a significant advantage to press charges against pro-abortion people turning to violence.
This will force the pro-aborts to use resources in dealing with the charges.
If they end up in jail, fine. If they have to spend significant amount of money to defend themselves, that is less money to be spent on advocating abortion.
