to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade case and end federal protections for abortion rights.
The demonstration — dubbed a “Vigil for Abortion Rights” — was organized by activist group Shut Down D.C., whichit would take its protests directly to the justice’s house in Northern Virginia “because it’s been impossible to reach him at the Supreme Court.” The group marched down the street, some carrying a banner that read “Repro Freedom For All,” as others chanted “our bodies, our voice!” and “Alito is a coward,” video from Fox NewsOrganizers said they planned to light candles at the foot of Alito’s driveway where speakers are expected to share their stories about abortion and hold a moment of silence “for the rights we know are ours” before marching away.
Alito, appointed to the Supreme Court in 2006 by George W. Bush, penned the majority opinion that rejects the constitutionality of the Roe v. Wade 1973 decision, which has been the law of the land for nearly 50 years, as well as the subsequent Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision in 1992.It would instead hand decisions on abortion rights to individual states.
At least 26 states in the South and Midwest are slated to immediately restrict abortion or enact a near-total ban if the historic decision were overturned.
A reminder: it's a federal crime to stalk a judge to his home to try to influence a case pending before the Judge. That activity is NOT protected by the First Amendment.
Whereas they should be thanking him for his dissent in Bostock.
It’s not a protest, it’s a threat. And these people mean business. They’ve killed before.
The Right to Kill Human Life! But on the same hand kill anyone land you in prison!

It was never SCOTUS's job to uphold bad law so Congress didn't have to do theirs. It's Congress's job to codify it. Protest in front of Congress. Not the Supreme Court!
