What are the chances of "Death penalty for women who get an abortion" is part of the 2024 gop platform?" My wife thinks the republicans aren't crazy enough to do this, I think she is grossly underestimating them. Would make sense, so they won’t do it.

Protesting is about petitioning the government for redress of grievances. There needs to be separation between the private and public life of a civil servant. Protesting at the SC? Absolutely. Protesting outside someone's private home? No. That's harassment and intimidation, and invites terroristic threats.

Oregon Right to Life will not knowingly do business with any organization or business which endorses violence in any way toward pro-abortion persons or businesses.
