Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, a pro-abortion activist group, held a protest outside Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home in Virginia on June 18, the latest in a series of demonstrations triggered by the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion suggesting the court would overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
The protestors in front of Barrett’s house were holding baby dolls and had their hands tied together with tape. They were dressed in clothing that appeared to be soaked in fake blood. The group held signs that said “Not going back” and pushed slogans like “forced motherhood = forced enslavement.” The group has staged pro-abortion protests at several other locations, including Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington.
