WASHINGTON, D.C.—Cold rain has kept Supreme Court protest numbers on both sides low going into the first weekend after someone leaked a draft court opinion against Roe v. Wade.
The protest has fired many pro-abortion groups to a feverish intensity as they face the possibility that states will once again decide on abortion’s legality.
“You have no idea who they will come for next,” former U.S secretary of state Hillary Clinton said.
Since May 3, pro-abortion protesters have appeared every day outside the Supreme Court, shouting for hours. Most of the time, they vastly outnumbered pro-life protesters.
Pro-abortion protesters are said to have screamed at and punched pro-life supporters.
At 11 a.m. on May 6, the rain kept the street outside the Supreme Court relatively quiet. Although protests have generally been smaller in the morning, the latest protests have been the smallest by far.
The first weekend after the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion will be wet and cold and the rival turnout numbers are unpredictable, police officers told The Epoch Times on May 6.
Throughout the week, hundreds attended night rallies when people got off work.
The issue has received considerable attention nationwide.
Conservative Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) called the leak “judicial insurrection.”
President Joe Biden’s White House indicated that defending Roe v. Wade took priority over the unprecedented leak.
