With SCOTUS Poised to Strike Down Roe, Pro-Choice Protesters Target Homes of Justices

HeadlineMay 09, 2022

Protests are continuing across the United States to defend reproductive rights following last week’s publication of a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion showing the court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade. Over the weekend, demonstrators gathered outside the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This comes as a new CNN poll released Friday shows two-thirds of the country opposes overturning Roe v. Wade.

Meanwhile, authorities in Madison, Wisconsin, are investigating a fire at the headquarters of an anti-choice group called Wisconsin Family Action. No one was injured in the blaze. A message was spray-painted on the building’s exterior reading, “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.”
