Conservatives want the Supreme Court to overturn one of the last bits of precedent protecting abortion providers and their patients from harassment.

In the year following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortion providers and patients saw a terrifying escalation in threats and acts of violence against them. As I first reported in this space two months ago, incidents like stalking were up a horrific 229 percent after the Supreme Court struck down Roe. The violence and intimidation is almost too much to wrap your head around.
But what if I told you that the Becket Fund, a conservative legal advocacy organization, could make the entire situation much, much worse?
