Fears of violence against pro-choice protests intensify amid wave of attacks
The Guardian ^ | Tue 28 Jun 2022 | Erum Salam

Fears over police violence and attacks by anti-abortion activists have been growing following a wave of incidents at demonstrations against the US supreme court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade, which upheld the constitutional right to an abortion.

Abortion rights supporters prepared to fan out across America Saturday for a second day of protest against the Supreme Court's thunderbolt ruling, as state after conservative state moved swiftly to ban the procedure.

Across the country, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered at protests objecting to the ruling. The protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful but some have seen incidents of police violence – including attacks on protesters – and an incident of a car driving dangerously through marchers.

Law enforcement cracked down on protests in multiple states, wielding batons and forcibly removing protesters from public spaces and firing teargas in Arizona.

Over two dozen pro-choice activists were arrested in New York City as protests took place in Washington Square Park, Union Square and in front of the NewsCorp building in midtown, home to Fox News studios.

In Arizona, police fired rounds of teargas into protesters from inside the state Capitol building. Police later issued a statement saying they were concerned protesters would gain access to the building.

BTW, Do you recall when Scott Peterson was convicted of two counts of Murder one being his wife and the other his/her unborn baby. So is it OK for a woman to kill a unborn baby but not a man????

Fear of attacks, only fear. The actual ongoing attacks are from the pro-abortion craziness egged on by the DemonRats.

Fears over police violence and attacks by anti-abortion activists have been growing increasingly hyped ...

By my estimate, the riot score is: left-wing ~ 1000, right-wing 1.

Sooner or later people will get fed up enough to bring violence to them and the circle of life will be complete
