Ted Cruz Calls for AG Merrick Garland to Protect 'Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers' From 'Mob Violence'

exas Senator Ted Cruz is worried that “radical” abortion advocates will be “threatening mob violence” after the Supreme Court of the United States officially overturned Roe Vs. Wade, which guaranteed the right to a legal abortion, on Friday.

“I think there’s a real risk of violence,” he said during his appearance on Fox News. “Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Capitol and mentioned Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch by name [and] said, ‘You have unleashed the whirlwind. You won’t know what hit you.” Cruz added, “It’s really cynical to see Democrats effectively condoning violence.”

Cruz retweeted a clip of his the segment, writing, “I am calling on the Attorney General Merrick Garland to be on watch to stop any radicals threatening mob violence against pro-life supporters, pregnancy centers, or churches. Enforce the rule of law.”

One of the ironies here is that if Garland, Barack Obama’s nominee for the court, had been confirmed, Roe. Vs. Wade would likely still be the law of the land.

It ain't gonna happen. The only thing that's happened is cops going aggro on peaceful Pro-Choice protestors and MAGAs with trucks trying to run over pedestrians.

Women with signs and slogans are violent mobs, etc.

This is done to deflect from their own crimes and to justify draconian measures against women.

If they fear violence, deploy the guard to at risk areas. Or better yet. Just arm the churches and pregnancy centers. That’s what the GOP proposed for schools.
