This small minority of crazy people tarnish the serious message of most pro-life activists. I wonder about the need for new legislation to enforce such a narrow law. Should not the regular public nuisance and assault statutes be used on the violent protesters?
I wish that this logic would be applied far more broadly. Jail the numerous violent antifa protesters and that movement will reform itself or lose steam with jail sentences being handed out to the entire group. Several other large protest movements also would be seriously cut back if the violent elements were jailed.
