The Federal government has indicted 8 religious nutjobs for blockading a Michigan abortion clinic in 2020. In addition to being charged with violating the Federal law that prohibits blocking clinic access, with a maximum 6 month sentence, the individuals are charged with engaging in a conspiracy to violate civil rights, a crime that carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
Oops.

These religious nutjobs are getting bolder and bolder. I wouldn't mind standing guard at one of these clinics in my retired military swag. Keep your religion out of other peoples lives. It really isn't that hard.

"nutjobs" is a bit harsh for people blocking access unless that "nutjob" applies to all those abortion rights protesters that were arrested for blocking traffic last summer or other non-destructive/non-violent protesters.
Illegal? Absolutely and they should face the punishment to fit the crime. Protesting for a cause, regardless of what your ideology is, comes with dangers if you do it illegally. Doesn't matter if you violate the FACE Act, blocking traffic or some other non-destructive/non-violent protest.
Personally, I retain "nutjob" to describe the militant/violent ones such as Jane's Revenge and others that try to 'convince' people by destroying property or using violence. If you do something that could cause injury to others, you're a nutjob. If you do something that is destroying property not your own, you're a nutjob.
Those people should all be dropped in a very deep hole.

I don't have a problem with anyone protesting, so long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. People blocking traffic (for whatever reason) or people who violate the rights of others (for whatever reason) should be prosecuted.
Nutjobs include the idiots who have chained themselves to trees to stop logging, those who glued themselves to museum walls, and so on.
I use less complimentary terms for those who use violence, including property destruction.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Completely agree. With those that block traffic, I'm surprised that even more motorists haven't taken matters into their own hands than have happened already.

..."When the doors opened to the clinic, the group stood and sat in front of the doors. As the group blocked the entrance, a woman tried to enter. She was there for birth control, but the demonstrators wouldn't move."...
