Before we delve into the ethics of peacefully protesting in front of a Supreme Court justice's home, I'd like to remind you about some of the havoc wrought by abortion foes after the court legalized abortion in 1973.
In 1986, the clinic of abortion doctor George Tiller was firebombed. In 1993, an antiabortion protester shot Tiller in both arms as he drove to work. In 2009, he was murdered by a religious extremist in the vestibule of his church.
I would remind you, too, that over the last 45 years, according to the National Abortion Federation, there have been 10 other murders, 26 attempted murders, 42 bombings, 194 incidents of arson and thousands of other "incidents of criminal activities" directed at abortion providers, their staffs and clinic escorts.
