A group of topless women ran onto the court at a WNBA game in Brooklyn on Tuesday night to protest the leaked Supreme Court draft decision that could overturn Roe vs. Wade.

The women stormed the floor during the New York Liberty's game against the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night at Barclays Center in New York City.

They are seen in multiple videos taken by fans in attendance walking onto the court holding signs, with some only covered up by what appears to be green paint. Several also had red paint between their legs.

As the women ran onto the court, several banners and signs could be seen held up by abortion rights supporters.

One larger banner read: 'Overturn Roe? Hell no!' while another read 'Abortion on demand & without apology.'

The protesters appeared to be with a group called Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, which has staged recent protests at public events, including a Mets-Dodgers baseball game in Los Angeles over the weekend and a Joel Osteen service.

The organization tweeted out a statement with a photo of four of the women who protested after the game saying: 'This was the audience we wanted. We aren't protesting to change the hearts & minds of woman-hating fascists. No. We are calling on those who can stop the overturning of #RoeVWade: THE MILLIONS of ppl who support #abortionrights. YOU! No business as usual. Shut the country down!'

Many of them marched around the lower bowl of the Barclays Center but did not enter the court.

The women who had gone onto the court were eventually taken away by security with one woman even being grabbed by her own hair by one of the guards.

Fans at the Barclays Center were largely supportive and applauded the protesters.

Gentlemen and Laz a big warning before you click on the link. That old FR saying "this thread us useless without pics" does NOT apply here.

It’s hard to imagine how any of these women would ever get pregnant in the first place.

But leaving aside contemplation of that gruesome idea, I noticed that the article says that the “protesters were cheered by the crowd.” I find that hard to believe.

Not only that it’s hard to imagine how they think this will help their cause.

So unladylike behavior, I just can’t imagine. They have a right to protest but keep your shirt on LITERALLY.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You do know who goes to WNBA games, right?

[bagster]

Oh no you don't. You ain't getting off that easy. You posted it, now you must suffer.

The good news is, none of those cows will EVER have to get an abortion. Unless of course they breed with a manatee down round Florida way.

“You do know who goes to WNBA games, right?”

Yes I do and the only reason they were cheering is because the women were topless.

Most every idiotic cause these days is propelled by apparent losers...

And it’s not my intention to be meanspirited to these outcasts, but Hell, they’re making a stink about it.

Well they certainly have the bellies.

Why do these women need a law that they will never use?

Several also had red paint between their legs.

Apparently, they are also adherents of "Free Bleeding." (I.e., they claim that the use of menstrual napkins etc. is an expression of "patriarchal oppression.")

More symptoms of the monkeypox?

[buwaya]

Well, I don’t know. One of them may pass, depending on what’s under her mask.

I knew before looking. ☹

This demonstration only makes sense. A serious public issue like abortion really should be decided by a group of overweight, bare chested babes at a woman’s basketball game.

[Jewbacca]

WNBA? Lesbians don’t get pregnant.

[sit-rep]

id be willing to be their aborting biracial babies more often than you think...

[Salman]

Was it really a protest? I call it the WNBA half time show.

Apparently to an appreciative audience. /smirk
