(James Silberman) A few thoughts on this case. First, the defendants are being railroaded. DC Mayor and sociopath Muriel Bowser accused defendant Lauren Handy of “tampering with fetal remains” for taking murdered children out of a dumpster. The politicians involved are evil beyond measure.
That the five defendants are being prosecuted for “conspiracy against rights” is instance #715,483,094 of us being a society that calls evil good and good evil. The defendants have committed no evil, nor violated any actual law.
With that said, we do not endorse the movement the defendants are trying to start. They believe that blockading clinics is the way to end abortion in America, and that we need to reignite the Rescue Movement.
They are wrong. There is no link between the rise of a movement to block clinics and the abolition of abortion. All such a movement would accomplish is making a few headlines and putting many of our most passionate people behind bars.
The bravery and willingness to sacrifice that rescuers demonstrate is admirable. But it’s a foolish strategy if the goal is justice and mercy for preborn children. While we could use more of the zeal demonstrated by rescuers, we have to be smart too.
The problem we face is not the existence of abortion mills. The problem is sinful hearts, darkened minds, corrupt leaders, and corrupt people. Standing outside the clinics pleading with women not to murder their babies is good. All of us at AboRising do it.
But we can’t have a clinic-centric mindset. The clinics aren’t the front lines of the battle. They are the final lines. The front lines are the hearts and minds of people and the laws of our land. Blocking or even shutting down clinics does not advance the cause of justice.
The way forward is rallying the Church to take the truth into the culture, calling for national repentance and demanding that magistrates bear the sword of justice as scripture commands them to. And if they won’t, then “may another take their office.”

Don’t blockade them, just blow them up.
Just kidding, but that’s how I feel. However, I must bow to the free wishes of the people of each state now that the feds have finally been constitutionally kicked out of the issue.
Those who block abortion mills are not primarily doing it out of a grand strategy to end all abortions as a result, it is to save, or at least grant a reprieve, for the lives of those babies scheduled to be murdered that day. The author has not spoken to many people who block abortion mills.

Article: sing louder. We should have done nothing really to stop slavery or for black civil rights and maybe not invaded europe to stop the killing in ww1 or ww2 for that matter. Pass the chips, what’s on tv.
i’ve not known anyone to actually blockade the mills. Stand outside, pray, hold signs, counsel etc? sure. Forcefully blockade? Nope. Especially not in a cesspool swamp like DC.
Exactly!
Liberal gaslighting is always, “Sit back. Relax. Do nothing. Trust the plan.”
We don’t need to blockade them. The wicked people who run them will suffer at the hands of people who will not respect their life or liberty.
That is what happens to evil people.
God is just and his justice will not sleep forever.
