A Christian columnist is now in hiding due to multiple rape and death threats following a tweet she posted about abortion.

Denise "D.C." McAllister, who writes for PJ Media and previously for The Federalist, tweeted Thursday during the confirmation hearings for U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh that Planned Parenthood and Code Pink abortion activists were protesting because "at the root of #abortion hysteria is women's unhinged desire for irresponsible sex."

"Sex is their god. Abortion is their sacrament. It's abhorrent as women have flung themselves from the heights of being the world's civilizing force to the muck and mire of dehumanizing depravity," she said.

At the root of #abortion hysteria is women’s unhinged desire for irresponsible sex. Sex is their god. Abortion is their sacrament. It’s abhorrent as women have flung themselves from the heights of being the world’s civilizing force to the muck and mire of dehumanizing depravity.

Her words elicited anger from many abortion activists on social media and soon violent threats started coming in.

"They are threats outside of Twitter, stating they know where I live," McAllister told PJ Media Tuesday.

"Threats of rape and strangling. I spoke to the police. I am on home watch."

She tweeted about the nature of the threats on Sunday.

"These threats aren't lame Twitter threats. Anyone who says we're not in a culture war is deluded. It's important for us to have each other's backs," tweeted McAllister, who is a rape survivor. She also told PJ Media that her children were scared.

At the request of her family she noted Monday that she would be staying off social media for a while, adding that she hoped to return soon. She tweeted Tuesday that she has been working with the police and that they are monitoring her house.

"I think the hatred for pro-life women is that they expect us to act in solidarity. When we don't, they attack," McAllister said.

"I also think it goes deeper. Women have the legitimacy to criticize other women in a way men don't. When we speak honestly like I have, they hate it because they know what I'm saying is true."
