The White House has cautioned against violence and threats after protests surrounding a looming US Supreme Court ruling on abortion, with a spokesperson saying judges"must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety."
The protests follow a draft Supreme Court opinion leaked last week suggested that the conservative-dominated judicial body was set to overturn the right to abortion in the United States."But that should never include violence, threats, or vandalism. Judges perform an incredibly important function in our society, and they must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety.
Dozens of abortion rights protesters gathered outside the Maryland homes of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, one of those who according to the leak was in favour of overturning Roe, and Chief Justice John Roberts over the weekend, US media reported. The words"If abortions aren't safe than you aren't either" were spray-painted outside the building, according to CBS.
The irony.... Women should be able to seek medical care without concern for their personal safety but that doesn't happen...
Why? They have regard for the personal safety of 50% of the population. If they want to feel safe, maybe they shouldn't be legislating on women's reproductive cycle.
