Attacking them for what? This isn't theoretical, I'm connected to giant global database where the public availability of this information is well known. Attacking them for what?
If your moral compass is "someone was mean to me on the internet, now I don't support abortion rights for rape victims" then there was no causative effect, you're just doing what you were going to do anyway.
Because it makes the priority pretty clear: these aren't hard to find stories[1]. The victims aren't "the far left" they're just people[2]. It isn't hard to empathize with them, but apparently the conclusion you reach is that they deserve what's happening to them, because an unrelated group of people might've been mean to you on the internet.
"People are mean to me on the internet" is a lie used to deflect from the data. Because someone is always saying something shitty on the internet. Because someone, somewhere on the far-left might tell someone they're an asshole. But then the far-right will rock up to what they think is Obama's house[3]. But then here you are, telling me the only reason conservatives don't support my issues is because someone is mean to them. I don't know who that person is, I don't know why they were mean, but because they were that's all the justification needed to support denying healthcare to women.
