Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on May 10 sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding the investigation and prosecution of “radical pro-abortion activists” who have “unlawfully” picketed the homes of Supreme Court justices suspected of supporting a leaked draft opinion, which stands to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling making abortion legal throughout the United States.

“Across the nation, radical pro-abortion activists have begun a campaign of violence, destruction, and intimidation in response to the leak of a draft document from the Supreme Court. You must vigorously investigate and prosecute the crimes committed in recent days,” the letter urges.
