No, nor pro choice people and that's exactly my point. The acceptability of the form of protest can't be related to how passionate the people are about their cause, or every passionate social justice group could justify this. That's clearly a result society can't take and leads to the few saying to the many: "my favorite cause is more important than...well, whatever you have going on today." What makes it wrong is targeting random people with no attempt at majority support, an indifference to the risks, and trapping people in the protest. It would be wrong no matter the cause.
