Supremes watch: Abortion Protests Go Too Far

- — Compiled by The Post Editorial Board

“I have felt a lot of anger towards politician­s,” admits Brendan O’Neill at Spiked Online, “but it has never once crossed my mind to go . . . protest at their doorstep,” as did the protesters who showed up “outside the private homes of Supreme Court justices” likely to overturn Roe. “Home protests have become worryingly common in recent years,” which is the “unsettling conclusion to the idea that ‘the personal is political.’ ” One big reason: “the woke era’s relentless elevation of identity as the prime concern of political life.” To fight it, “we need to . . . untangle the political and the personal. Protest where policy is made, not where the people who make policy live and sleep and bring up their children.”
