We’ve long been ringing the alarm on anti-abortion bullying.
Which is why it’s so important to celebrate the wins when they come.
Days ago, New York Attorney General Letitia James ruled Red Rose Rescue, a group seeking to ban all abortions, “repeatedly violated state and federal clinic access laws by invading reproductive health care clinics and interfering with access to care.” [1]
We’ve been closely watching Red Rose Rescue for some time, raising awareness to their flagrant disregard of laws as well as the harassment and intimidation they take part in.
Now is the time to keep up the pressure. Recently, Trump pardoned a number of anti-abortion clinic invaders [2], and a weaponized Department of Justice has ordered its own prosecutors to nearly suspend enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. [3] The Heritage Foundation has cooked up its own white paper arguing for the FACE Act to be repealed. Meanwhile, most people—some of them Trump’s own voters—just want the anti-abortion bullying to stop.
It’s on all of us to refuse to let anti-abortion bullies continue without consequences. Invading clinics, blocking entrances, and harassing patients is unacceptable. Everyone deserves the right to access the healthcare they need, including abortion, freely.
