A handful of pro-choice demonstrators protested outside the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday afternoon, accusing her and her fellow Democrats of being “complicit” in the potential overturn of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.
The small group held several signs, some depicting caricatures of the conservative justices on the high court. Others blasted pro-life moderate Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) while delivering brief speeches targeting the party.
The signs featured images of Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. The word “Liar” was printed above their faces. All five justices reportedly support a draft opinion leaked last week that would overturn the landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion nationwide.
“We are here because the Democratic Party and the Democrats as a whole have been complicit in this whole thing,” one protester shouted, according to a video shared on social media.
Standing next to a banner that read “Abortion On Demand & Without Apology!,” the protester directly called out Pelosi (D-Calif.), claiming she has been “complicit” with a Republican Party effort to strike down Roe v. Wade, as well as a slew of other rulings on gay marriage and transgender rights.
“I’m here because I care about the next generation,” another protester said. “I’m here because this is a blatant war on women and other trans — other uterus-bearing individuals.”
“Speaker Pelosi, this will be your legacy,” he said into a bullhorn. “Thirty-five years of your reign of terror, you had a super-majority under [President Barack] Obama, under which this should have been your top priority.”
“Why did you keep this on the table? Because this is your most effective fundraising tool — that’s why,” the protester added.

More popcorn please.
Henry Cuellar may need to change parties. He is less liberal than a lot of Republicans
Make her eat dog dirt!
I am enjoying watching them eat their own
They think we’re idiots. They think this will make the Democrat Party seem more moderate.
Are these the ones who throw Molotov cocktails?
Someone appears to be very, very confused.
I love it when the left eats their own.
“They think we’re idiots. They think this will make the Democrat Party seem more moderate.”
When all but one of them just voted for infanticide.
The Democrat party is NOT monolithic. They welcome everyone into their big tent with only one requirement for membership - hate America and all it once stood for.
Having said that, the various groups don’t share much else but they have no choice, either work with the Democrat party or they don’t get a seat at the table.
The Democrats are riding the back of a tiger in trying to please the various groups (which is impossible since most are one issue groups and often one group is 180 degree out from another).
Bottom line, the Democrat party represent who ever pays the leadership the most.
(Pelosi does not care that they would protest outside her home, she is rich and they are not, she has power and they do not.)
Oh, it is not, you silly virtue-signaling drama queen.
It returns the decision to the individual states, just like it was before Roe v. Wade. Sit down.
The protestors didn’t understand that Pelosi’s top priorities were boxed wine and lining her own pockets, in that order...
“Why did you keep this on the table? Because this is your most effective fundraising tool — that’s why,”
- Well, at least the protesters are honest and know how their side works.
“Speaker Pelosi, this will be your legacy,” he said into a bullhorn. “Thirty-five years of your reign of terror, you had a super-majority under [President Barack] Obama, under which this should have been your top priority.”
- "He" was using a bullhorn. That's past even the Jan 6 provocations. But "he" is correct again about democrat politics under Obama. They chose to concentrate on the homo lobby rather than "uterus-bearing" individuals. Why? We all know what is unsaid.
“I’m here because I care about the next generation,” another protester said. “I’m here because this is a blatant war on women and other trans — other uterus-bearing individuals.”
- What next generation?! Y'all are killing most of them off! Although at their age, not sure why it matters much. Typical leftie protester - still fighting the Vietnam War.
Must be a religious thing for their god Baal-Moloch.
And gourmet ice cream!
Can’t forget the ice cream!
And mansions and compounds old Nan could be at any one of them at any given time flyin private. Let the peasants protest!
Well said.
Sounds like they are unsure about their own terms...
