Protests at the U.S Supreme Court as people wait for a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization which is among the remaining cases on the Supreme Court docket before the term ends at the end of June. A draft Supreme Court opinion published by Politico in early May suggested the court is considering a decision that would overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a constitutional right to abortion. Xxx Usat 493015 16164 Jpg A Oth Usa Dc

WASHINGTON (AP) — Police in the nation’s capital are bringing in additional officers and mobilizing in anticipation of growing protests outside the U.S. Supreme Court. The court issued a highly charged decision Friday that ends constitutional protections for abortion nearly 50 years after Roe v. Wade made abortion legal. U.S. Capitol Police says it has been working closely with other law enforcement agencies in order to prepare for demonstrations. A law enforcement official says the department is mobilizing its civil disturbance unit and also bringing on additional officers Friday. The official could not publicly discuss details of the internal security procedures and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
