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.

Calm before the storm—-Democrats are going to attempt to turn this into June 2020 — violence and the threat of more violence
sounds like... democracy might be in DANGER!!!
this might possibly be.. INSURRECTION!!!!
*rolls eyes*
More and more conservatives carry. Attempting to commit violence on them just might backfire.
I am not worried.
Anyone hurting me or my wife will be the ones left hurting.
Self-defense is a beautiful thing.
baby murder by moms will revert back to being recognized as baby murder
the modern wimmin do not like giving up such powah to determine if another person lives or dies, legally
Maybe, just maybe....someone is gonna decide that it might just be the right time to fight back. Crazy, I know, but even a mouse will fight back when cornered.
So grateful I don’t live in some blue cesspool.
I hope and pray no innocents are harmed by the leftist terrorists.
Conservatives will be treated like the Jan6 Political Prisoners if they are arrested.

Hopefully the liberal tears come before the weekend! Any chance the ruling comes out Friday?
The “We demand death for the unborn” group will riot against those that demand life.
Is he serious? Democrats are calling for violence. The President claims the importance of expressed opposition. Constitutional law is being violated and the gov does nothing. The democrats are actively pursuing a campaign of violence.
When the worm turns there will be blood in places we have not seen it in many years.
Anyone think that is a bit unhinged?
The FBI and DOJ will be sitting on the sidelines cheering it on.
What’s all this violence that they’re warning about? Surely, whomever they’re worried about must already be on the SPLC’s hate watch list, right?
Incorrect. They’ll be actively stage managing the riots, just like they did during the summer of 2020.
Another attempt at intimidation
Friends in DC won’t help if you are dead.
