Pro-choice demonstrators protest outside Pelosi’s home, say she’s being ‘complicit’

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.

Turns out this guy is the smartest in the group. He believes the bullhorn he's using can be heard all the way to DC.

In before the outgoing hypocrite Psucki derides the actions of these protestors as being in violation of federal law and seeks prosecution.
