WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-6) called out recent acts of vandalism, property damage, and more against pro-life organizations across the country. Rep. Rose also urged the Department of Justice to investigate the incidents as acts of domestic terrorism.
The full speech, as prepared for delivery, is below:
Madam Speaker, more than seven weeks ago, we woke up to headlines that the Supreme Court of the United States would likely overturn Roe v. Wade. I believe the leaker broke federal law in an effort to change the outcome of the high court’s ruling.
We’ve seen protests outside justices’ homes, and in Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s case we’ve seen an attempted assassination.
We’ve also seen more than a dozen attacks on pro-life organizations across the country, including vandalism, destruction of property, and even firebombing.
This is why I joined more than 100 House Republicans in a letter urging the Department of Justice to investigate these attacks. They not only deserve to be a top priority for the DOJ, but we believe they should be investigated as instances of domestic terrorism.
We must make it clear that we are a nation of laws – never mob rule.
