Last Thursday, The Heritage Foundation sued the Biden Administration's Department of Justice (DoJ), for failing to block protests by pro-abortionists outside the private residences of Supreme Court justices. The conservative nonprofit organization believes activists broke federal law following the leak of a High Court draft reversing Roe vs. Wade and the ruling that abortion is not a constitutional right.
After the Supreme Court ruling was leaked, pro-abortionists began protests and persecutions of the judges, to such an extent that they threatened to murder one of them, as the organization pointed out in the complaint:
Judge Amy Coney Barrett's children's schools and her church were targeted. An individual was arrested for conspiring to assassinate Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh and potentially other judges, in part to ensure that Roe was upheld. But the Department refused to enforce the statute regarding protests at judges' private homes.
Anti-fascist groups such as ShutDownDC or RuthSentUs offered rewards to get private information of conservative judges who defended the right to life.
With its lawsuit, The Heritage Foundation is seeking connections between the Justice Department and the protester groups. Just as the DoJ used 18 U.S.C. Section 1507 (which outlaws obstruction of justice and protests in front of judges' and justices' residences) to block other protests, however, it was not used this time.
The silence of the Biden Administration
The Heritage Foundation's Senior Research Advisor to the Oversight Project, Roman Jankowski, asked Attorney General Merrick Garland for his failure to prosecute pro-abortion activists:
The silence of the Biden Justice Department on these radical protests and obviously intimidating tactics was, and continues to be, deafening. The American people deserve to know why Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland have not only refused to publicly and unequivocally condemn this behavior, but also why they continue to fail to prosecute or hold accountable those who broke the law in an attempt to influence Supreme Court proceedings. We believe there are answers to these questions in the documents we have requested, and we are entitled by law to these documents.
Shots fired for defending the right to life
Protests and threats by pro-abortion activists, on certain occasions, went beyond the limits. To such an extent that weapons were used against people defending the right to life.
An 84-year-old pro-life volunteer in Michigan was shot in the shoulder while touring a neighborhood in her community to discuss with residents an abortion proposal on a statewide ballot on the November ballot.
Educational Boundaries
Limits and boundaries are also being overstepped in schools. In New Jersey, for example, 13-year-olds now learn about abortion (along with anal and oral sex) in schools, and in New York, elite schools recommended reading lists include stories on 'how to secretly abort' to children as young as 5.
