Lawmakers are sounding alarms about more violence at Republican Party offices and pro-life organizations across the country if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
Attacks on offices tied to the Republican National Committee, GOP lawmakers, and pro-life groups have begun in anticipation of the ruling, including attacks this week where vandals spray-painted slogans and smashed windows.
“We should be concerned,” said Rep. Thomas Massie, Kentucky Republican. “Democrats here need to come out and speak against the violence.”
The vandalism and violence began after a leaked opinion last month showed the Supreme Court was set to overturn the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion nationwide.
On Monday, an RNC district office in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was vandalized, while a pro-life pregnancy center in Detroit was attacked by vandals linked to the far-left group Jane’s Revenge.
The group is also linked to vandalism that took place in a local office for Rep. Tim Walberg, Michigan Republican.
Jane’s Revenge, an extremist pro-choice organization, has claimed responsibility for firebombing several anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers since the high court leak.
The group has been advocating for a “night of rage” if the Supreme Court overturns Roe, calling for a night of rioting in Washington following the decision.
“In recent weeks, the radical left has unleashed an assassination attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the firebombing of pregnancy clinics, and targeted vandalism of Republican and pro-life groups. Joe Biden has yet to condemn any of this,” said Will O’Grady, RNC spokesman.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Earlier this month, Rep. Hakeem S. Jeffries, the Democratic Caucus chairman, condemned the attacks.
“We denounce violence in any form, whether it comes from whatever particular ideological perspective,” Mr. Jeffries said. “I haven’t seen

By “sitting on the sidelines”, I meant not arresting anyone involved with violence against conservatives or any conservative groups. But you’re also correct in that they may be managing the violence and making sure it’s one-way.
Bring it. Its always useful to see which wolves come out from the shadows.
I believe in life with the exception of being attacked. It seriously looks like people need to fully exercise their 2a rights since law enforcement refuses to do their jobs.
Yep, the pros will be out in force, only they won't be the ones in the front lines. They've had plenty of time to prepare.
And they will arrest conservatives and they will be treated like the Jan6 political prisoners are being treated.
This is going to backfire big time on the Rats.
Sane people have had it with this mob wanting to get their way by burning, looting and killing.
How is it that “Jane’s Revenge” is not Prosecuted ?
Oh; that’s right.......it’s only Patriotic Americans that get Prosecuted today, or locked up for indefinite periods with no bail, unlike criminals who fit the Narative.
The police will be on the side of the baby killers.
” It seriously looks like people need to fully exercise their 2a rights since law enforcement refuses to do their jobs.”
I think in many circumstances it’s not that they refuse to do their jobs, but rather their jobs were changed by the political leadership; hence, the many resignations and retirements.
Who the hell is Jane anyway?
The Democrats are setting the stage for sanctioned political riots.
Justice Clarance informed the nation that individuals with legally owned guns can carry and defend themselves.
Kyle Rittenhouse won his freedom and also provided clarification on self defense during a riot.
Those who think they are allowed to start burning, looting, murdering isokay because the mayor and police chief sanctioned lawlessness might be facing down more guns this time around.
“.... Of course the ruling could actually catch everybody off guard and go the other way .....”
I agree, let’s not count the chickens quite yet. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Certainly sounds like it.
Was there ever a time when they weren’t?
Doesn’t matter. They are primed to riot and any excuse will do. They will just call it a celebration.
They will riot in support of the right to have “mostly peaceful abortions”.
Ralph Northam is not doing anything. He could put on black face and lead the baby killer charge.
They don’t value life. I don’t expect to hem to play nice
