On the recordJanuary 11, 2023
I am against all forms of violence, including violence against any one of the majority of Americans who support abortion rights. The statistics are absolutely clear. Since 1977, there have been 11 murders, 42 bombings, 196 arsons, 491 assaults, and thousands more illegal attacks on people who support abortion rights. Let's include everyone in here when we talk about no more violence. We have to make sure that people who are pro-life and people who support abortion rights--and we support life--are included in opposing violence.
