WASHINGTON (77WABC) — Days after the leak of a draft opinion revealed the Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe v. Wade, pro-choice activists protested Saturday evening outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts,
According to Bloomberg, about 100 demonstrators marched from Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house in Maryland, to Chief Justice John Roberts’ home nearby while holding signs and chanting pro-choice slogans. After returning to Kavanaugh’s Chevy Chase home, police told the protestors to disperse.
Video posted on Twitter showed a group gathered outside Roberts’ home chanting, “The whole world is watching!” and “We will not go back” as well as “My body, my choice” on Kavanugh’s street.
“The time for civility is over, man,” 39-year-old Lacie Wooten-Holway told Bloomberg. “Being polite doesn’t get you anywhere.”
Kavanaugh is one of five justices Politico said cast preliminary votes to overturn Roe, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. CNN later reported that Roberts opposed overturning Roe completely and was trying to create a compromise that would leave parts of the law intact while upholding a Mississippi law that limits abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy.
