Now, let’s set a couple of things straight: they are defining “attacks” pretty liberally to include things like graffitti or even someone stripping in church, so these are not all violent <\/em>attacks. And, in fairness, the folks who did the study lean very conservative on the spectrum (any gun guy knows of John Lott.) BUT, per Emma Colton’s piece on Fox News:<\/p>\n “The overwhelming narrative in the media is the claim those on the right are responsible for most of the politically motivated violence in the U.S. It has been a theme in the news media after the Supreme Court\u2019s Dobbs decision was leaked, with many claiming that there was disproportionate violence against pro-choice providers. But a review of cases shows over 22 times more violence against pro-life advocates,” John Lott, the founder and president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), told Fox News Digital on Monday.<\/p>\n Though the data show there were a handful of attacks from May 3 to Sept. 24 of this year against pro-choice groups and supporters, the number was dwarfed by attacks against pro-life centers.<\/p>\n “From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors, and stops operating will no longer be a target. But until you do, it\u2019s open season, and we know where your operations are,” a letter from Jane\u2019s Revenge dated June 14 reads.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Data seems to favor the shown results, but there is a caveat – pro-choice groups contacted to provide data pretty much declined to answer. Whether that\u00a0 is because they don’t trust Lott & Co. or because they have no supporting data to offer I leave to you to decide.\u00a0 However, seems much of the actual gathered data comes from DOJ itself, which is certainly presumed authoritative as they seem more than willing to support the pro-choice side of the ledger, but may not show as much in the way of simple graffitti or breast-baring:<\/p>\n Additionally, the Department of Justice keeps a running list of “federal prosecutions of recent cases of violence and other conduct directed at reproductive health care providers,” according to its website. The CPRC study notes that no such list exists for attacks against pro-lifers.<\/p>\n When approached for comment if the DOJ has a similar list of recent federal prosecutions of cases involving people who have targeted pro-life centers, a spokesperson said “all of our FACE prosecutions are included in this list.” The Freedom of Access Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act, makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate and interfere with anyone because that person provides reproductive health care.<\/p>\n
