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 theres 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 wont know what hit you. Cruz added, Its 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 Obamas nominee for the court, had been confirmed, Roe. Vs. Wade would likely still be the law of the land.

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