I would agree with the above.

I don't like radical anti-abortionists who camp out at abortion clinics, but I recognize we all have this right. I wish they would pursue their goals more civilly, they would likely get some sympathy if they were humane about it, for example.

what's more civil than peacefully protesting?

Radical anti-abortionists also harass and intimidate people (while "peacefully" protesting,) bomb abortion clinics and kill doctors.

That's probably what mc32 is referring to.

I think you misunderstood me. By radical I don't mean criminals. I mean people who go to extreme but legal tactics to promote their cause, as you point out, they use intimidating tactics. Personally, I think this works against them. Just like shouting and intimidating people works against antifa.

Non radical anti abortionists are most moms and dads who prefer not to abort but don't go out there and agitate.

how did you get "bomb abortion clinics and kill doctors" from "camp out at abortion clinics"?
Re:Gab.com’s Response to Congress by krapp on Thursday September 02, 2021 @12:40PM (#28394231)
I got there from "radical anti-abortionists," and the context of the rest of the comment.

edit: but apparently I misinterpreted the comment so mea culpa, my bar for "radical" is different than mc32's.

presumably they are talking about the ones that "peacefully" scream "murderer" at people in an already stressful and emotionally painful situation. Legal, yes. Civil? ehh....
