Attorney General Merrick Garland had to explain before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday how those who vandalize and burn down Catholic churches and pregnancy centers can evade arrest, while abortion activists have their doors kicked in. Garland's answer was that left-wing criminals typically act at night, whereas pro-life activists are generally acting in the light of day and are easy to identify.

The Department of Justice has also not charged a single protestor under a statute that makes protesting outside of a Supreme Court justice's home illegal, and a Pennsylvania pro-life activist, Mark Houck, was been charged under federal law.

...[Garland responded to criticism saying] "I will say that you're quite right, there are many more prosecutions in respect to the blocking of the abortion centers, but that is generally because those actions are taken with photography at the time, during the daylight, and seeing the person who did it is quite easy."
