The young children of two conservative US Supreme Court justices are now being targeted in online posts by a radical pro-abortion group — adding to growing fears of violence by radical abortion activists.
The pro-abortion group Ruth Sent Us named the children of judges Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Comey Barrett in Twitter posts after they were linked to an assassination attempt on Kavanaugh’s life earlier this week, Townhall reports.
In May, Ruth Sent Us, named after the late Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, posted the home addresses of the conservative judges online after news broke of a leaked draft ruling saying the Supreme Court had overthrown Roe v. Wade this summer.
While the pro-abortion group denounced violence this week, it also posted several mocking and ominous messages on Twitter.
Ruth Sent Us named Barrett’s children in a call to protest outside her home and a local elementary school. Barrett has seven children, and the youngest is 10.
“If you’re in the DC metro area, join us. Our protests at Barrett’s house have moved the needle to this coverage,” the pro-abortion group wrote. “Falls Church is a stronghold of People of Praise. She sends her seven children to a People of Praise school, where she served on the board of directors. She goes to church DAILY.”
The group also cited the name of a local primary school as a starting point for its protest.
The radical pro-abortion group sent another to indicate that abortion activists know where Kavanaugh and his wife Ashley send their two daughters to school.

“A special message to Ashley Kavanaugh and your daughters: This billboard was on your school property. We sympathize,” the group wrote, including a billboard photo. “@LeaderMcConnell and the GOP are not concerned about your safety. They are only concerned about the expensive Supreme Court they have manipulated and their power .”
Protests outside judges’ homes are illegal, but the Biden administration has encouraged them nonetheless. And these protests continued even after police arrested an armed man near Kavanaugh’s home early Wednesday morning for allegedly threatening to kill the judge, Townhall said. Authorities said the man found the judge’s address online and was angry that the court could soon quash Roe.
Federalist editor Mollie Hemingway expressed outrage at the inaction of federal authorities.
“After the failed killer uses Kavanaugh’s home address that Democratic activists posted online, pro-abortion group RuthSentUs escalates against children and fellow parishioners of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. No one is doing anything to stop this,” she wrote on Twitter.
She criticized the group for its “horrific” intimidation attempts, not only against the judges but also against their young children.
“A pro-abortion group publishing directions to Kavanaugh’s home — the man arrested today said he used the online map to find it — is also targeting his young daughter’s school,” Hemingway wrote. “This escalation and threat against the children must be stopped. Awful.”
Also in May, Judge Samuel Alito, the author of the draft ruling, and his family were moved from their home to a safe location due to violent threats.
Meanwhile, other pro-abortion groups also hint at violence against the courts, life advocates, and churches in the coming days. Jane’s Revenge, a group linked to several arson attacks and vandalism in recent weeks, warned of more “military” action this weekend and a “Night of Rage” once the Supreme Court releases its abortion ruling, according to Secular Pro-Life.
The US Marshals and the Department of Justice have increased the safety of the judges, their staff, and their families. In mid-May, the US Senate also unanimously passed a bill to increase security measures for the Supreme Court, but the US House, which pro-abortion Democrats control, blocked the bill.
According to Axios, a recent Department of Homeland Security report warned that radical abortion activists could burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and kill judges and their clerks if the court overthrows Roe. The report indicates that these pro-abortion extremists also plan to attack churches and other places of worship with violence and vandalism.
LifeNews also reported last week about the left-wing pro-abortion group Shut Down DC, which plans to blockade the streets around the Supreme Court building on June 13 to shut it down.
At least three pro-life organizations have been victims of arson in recent weeks, and dozens of acts of vandalism, attacks, and threats against pro-lifers and churches.
“The leaked draft memo stating that the Supreme Court struck down #RoeVWade is a CRUELTY, but it is not yet law and need not be but what they intend to do and will do if WE don’t stop them. Stand up! & HELL HELL!” the group Rise 4 Abortion Rights wrote on Twitter.
Even prominent pro-abortion groups use words that indicate possible rebellion and violence. On Twitter, Rachel O’Leary Carmona, executive director of Women’s March, said abortion activists would be “ungovernable” until the government legalizes abortion on demand.
The Supreme Court is expected to decide on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health abortion case in Mississippi this summer, possibly later this month.
Since Roe in 1973, more than 63 million unborn babies and hundreds of mothers have died in supposedly “safe, legal” abortions.
