I don't know why members of congress or judges would be more protected than abortion clinic employees. There has only been 1 judge killed and 1 congresswoman injured (in the same incident, not at house or office) since the 1992 SCOTUS decision that allowed protesting at employees houses and almost three dozen employees have been killed (not all at their house).
