They never met an unborn baby they wouldn't kill. At least 17 House Democrats were arrested Tuesday for blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court during a planned "civil disobedience" ["insurrection" for Republicans].
Axios reported that the abortion-as-religion Democrats arrested were:
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY); Carolyn Maloney (NY)l; Cori Bush )MO); Ayanna Pressley (MA); Madeleine Dean (PA); Nydia Velazquez (NY); Barbara Lee (CA); Jackie Speier (CA); Katherine Clark (MA); Sara Jacobs (CA); Rashida Tlaib (MI); Andy Levin (MI); Alma Adams (NC); Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ); Veronica Escobar (TX); Ilhan Omar (MN); and Jan Schakowsky (IL)
But there was an update by the U.S. Capitol Police:
UPDATE: We made a total of 34 arrests for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307).
That arrest number includes 16 Members of Congress.

Video footage captured by Doug Blair fo The Daily Signal and Bernadette Hassan shows police escorting a smiling, bug-eyed New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) away from the court as lively band music can be heard in the background.
The New York Democrat held her hands behind her back pretending to be arrested, pumps a fist in the air in honor of dead babies everywhere, and then returns her hands behind her back but didn't really get arrested, just like she wasn't really anywhere near the Jan. 6 "insurrection."
The move prompted immediate amusement from her critics online.
Republican communicator Matt Whitlock tweeted: “Have to wonder if any of the protesters alongside her ever thought ‘wait .. aren’t you an elected member of Congress with the power to pass legislation on this issue? Why are you over here protesting? Pass a bill!'”
“She pretends to be handcuffed, raises her fist in a salute, and then goes back to pretending to be handcuffed,” tweeted strategist Greg Price.

Explanation: she believes people didn't notice.
Omar’s office had alerted media of the planned “civil disobedience” shortly before it took place because the Democrats need all the friendly press they can get before the midterm elections, which Omar is up for reelection.
