To protest against pro-life laws in… Texas?

SEATTLE, July 8, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) –Seven protesters from a Communist front group called Stop Patriarchy were arrested in downtown Seattle on July 1 for blocking traffic.

Stop Patriarchy staged the July 1 events to protest new laws set to come into effect that day in Kansas, Texas, and Tennessee, calling them part of a “national onslaught against abortion rights and birth control.”

Stop Patriarchy is a front organization for the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, a splinter group which views all sexual relations in free market societies as expression of male dominance. It advocates the use of “confrontational, dramatic non-violent” tactics to raise the alarm over recent legislative restrictions on abortion passed in Texas, Tennessee, and Kansas.

Their website added, “Over 330 restrictions have been introduced nationwide already this year…None of these laws have anything to do with ‘life.’ They are about slamming women back to the Dark Ages, reducing them to mere breeders.” For this the group blames “Chistian fascists,” “fundamentalists,” and, of course, men.

The seven women were released by police shortly afterward. The Seattle prosecutors’ office has not responded to LifeSiteNews queries about whether charges will be laid.

Seventy-five of its supporters briefly delayed hundreds of thousands of pro-life marchers for 20 minutes in Washington, D.C., during this year’s annual March for Life.
