After revelation that SCOTUS is set to overturn Roe v. Wade Protesters gathered Monday night outside of the U.S. Supreme Court in response to a draft opinion which reveals the Court's intention to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights ruling
The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the case, and opinions are known to change from the drafting process to the final published ruling Pro-choice demonstrators could be heard chanting 'abortion is healthcare' loudly and seen holding signs as the crowd grew Court police installed metal barricades in front of the stone building's steps on Monday evening after news broke of the draft opinion's existence
Overturning the 1973 ruling would make abortion immediately illegal in at least 13 states
Hundreds of pro-choice activists took to the streets of Washington late into the night on Monday after news that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling which legalized abortion nationwide.
A leaked initial draft majority opinion suggests the court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, Politico reported on Monday. The Supreme Court and the White House declined to comment.
Abortion rights supporters could be heard shouting 'abortion is healthcare' and 'my body my choice' outside the court in what were often emotional scenes.
Pro-life supporters were also present but in far smaller numbers with the two groups seen facing off outside the court. Anti-abortion activists chanted 'hey, hey, ho, ho, Roe v. Wade has got to go'.
Hundreds of pro-choice and anti-abortion activists on Monday night chanted and waved placards in the plaza in front of the steps to the Supreme Court, with barriers and a few uniformed police officers barring access to the colonnaded building.

Abby Korb, a 23-year-old graduate student and congressional aide, said she was ‘in literal shock’ when the news broke and quickly headed to the Supreme Court with a friend.
‘I’m a woman and my rights are being taken away every single day,’ she said.
Like many others at the spontaneous demonstration, Korb, originally from Wisconsin, is now calling for legislation at the federal level to protect access to abortion.
‘We need access to safe abortion because making it illegal isn’t going to stop it, it’s just going to make it more dangerous,’ she said.
The growing crowd took turns to hurl expletives at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who reportedly wrote the opinion, and called on Democratic Party leaders to ‘do something’.
Madeline Hren, a 25-year-old from North Carolina, said she was very angry.
‘I called everyone I knew to be very angry,’ she said, holding a small sign with a drawing of a bloody coat hanger that said ‘We will not go back.’
‘I’m really upset about it... I didn’t cry. I’m mostly just mad,’ said Hren, who works for the UN Foundation. She now fears that an abortion ban will extend to her native North Carolina.
MANY PHOTOS AT THE SOURCE
How can she be sure she's a woman? Is she a biologist?
As far as I can tell from the regular news, only the Moloch worshippers are protesting.
Forget protesting.
Deep State wants to scare them to the polls.
“... pro-choice and anti-abortion activists ...”
No bias in reporting for this lot. /s
Funny the MSM doesn't ever mention the baby's health or body.
Today there will be a mass freak out in front of the Supreme Court. I predict at least 1000-2000 raging feminazis, with some of their male camp followers. Add some trans mutants too.
Probably many of the DC Federal “workers” are still working from home. So it will be easy to slide over to the Supreme Court and let it all hang out.
How can overturning Roe v Wade be an assault on women’s rights if you can’t tell us what a woman is?— Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) May 3, 2022
Dems haven’t been this upset since Lincoln freed all of their slaves.
We may be broke, hungry from food shortages, unable to drive and fearful of nuclear war but for god’s sake don’t take away our right to kill unborn children. That’s where we draw the line...
You can kill your baby but don’t you dare not wear a mask or not get vaccinated
So the wise Latino leaks the brief and now the riots start. I hope she is shunned by her colleagues in SCOTUS every day she comes into the office for the remainder of her tenure.
There's a lot of leftover women and beta males in those photos.
Even the use of words shows a bias. PRO-choice, but ANTI-abortion. The leftards never use PROLIFE!
Sure looks like the “leak” was coordinated.
It’s an INSURRECTION!
“There’s a lot of leftover women and beta males in those photos.”
Yeah, the photos tell the real story. What a motley crew. Always lots of photos at UK Daily Mail, which is why I like it.
