The Thomas More Society, a national public interest law firm focusing on religious liberty, is threatening to sue protesters who harass religious worshipers and those who hold demonstrations on the steps of the nation’s churches in the wake of a leaked draft majority opinion by the Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
The law firm made its intentions known in a May 6 letter (pdf) directed to a shadowy group calling itself Ruth Sent Us, which has been targeting churches and Supreme Court justices’ homes.
Although the letter does not accuse Ruth Sent Us of specific crimes, it notes that since “the police brutality protests” of mid-2020 the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has identified “129 incidents of vandalism, arson, and other hate crimes directed at Catholics.”
