U.S. braces for violence against conservatives, pro-life groups with Supreme Court’s abortion ruling

Lawmakers are sounding alarms about more violence at Republican Party offices and pro-life organizations across the country if the Supreme Court as expected 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 in which vandals spraypainted 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.
