“Didn’t threaten the lives of justices”? Fuck that bullshit.

Justice Blackmun, who wrote the Roe majority opinion, had a bullet shot through his living room window. This after years of receiving letters threatening his life. The bullet occurred right after he had received a particularly concerning letter, and was at the end of a year in which DC-area clinics had been subjected to seven bombings. Not threats, bombings.

Oh, and Blackmun also was picketed regularly ever since the Roe decision was handed down.

Learn your history. Don’t let the Right re-write it.
