Abortion activists call for PROTESTS at conservative SCOTUS judges’ houses following leaked Roe v. Wade opinion
05/06/2022 / By Ramon Tomey
A group of liberal, pro-abortion activists called for protests at the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices. The calls for protests followed the release of a leaked document that insinuated a potential overturn of the Roe v. Wade ruling.
The group, which used the name Ruth Sent Us (RSU), published the supposed home addresses of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
The group’s website said: “Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights. We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics.”
According to RSU’s website, it plans to visit the homes of the conservative magistrates on May 11. Fox News was subsequently told that there has been a “strong police presence” at the justices’ homes following the document’s May 2 leak.
The group’s name pertains to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died in September 2020. The liberal Ginsburg had been a staunch supporter of abortion from her 1993 appointment to the high court by former President Bill Clinton in 1993 until her passing.
Former President Donald Trump appointed Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett to the high court – with the latter taking over the seat vacated by Ginsburg. Thomas was appointed to the bench during the first Bush administration, while both Roberts and Alito were appointed during the second Bush administration.
The leaked document was a draft copy of Alito’s opinion that upheld a Mississippi abortion law. If adopted by four other justices, it could overturn the 1973 Roe decision that upheld abortion. Roberts described the leak of Alito’s opinion as a “betrayal” of the court, and subsequently ordered an investigation.
Republican lawmakers expressed outrage over the leak, while their Democratic counterparts sounded the alarm over a purported attack on women’s rights.
“Somebody – likely somebody inside the court itself – leaked a confidential brief to the press to stir up a pressure campaign. Whoever committed this lawless act knew exactly what it could bring about,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, meanwhile, wrote in a tweet: “I don’t care how the draft leaked; that’s a sideshow. What I care about is that a small number of conservative justices, who lied about their plans to the Senate, intend to deprive millions of women of reproductive care.”
Protesters also targeting churches following the draft’s leak
A subsequent report by Tyler O’Neil of Fox News said pro-abortion protesters were also planning to target Catholic churches on Mother’s Day, May 8, in condemnation of the leaked opinion. RSU led the charge by tweeting a video of activists disrupting a church service.
“Whether you’re a ‘Catholic for Choice,’ ex-Catholic, of other [faith] or no faith – recognize that six extremist Catholics [are] set out to overturn Roe. Stand at or in a local Catholic Church [on Sunday], May 8,” RSU captioned the video.
Meanwhile, Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights (RU4AR) organized a “week of action,” which kicks off on May 8 with “Actions Outside of Churches.” An event schedule from RU4AR elaborated: “Several cities will be hosting protests outside of prominent churches in their towns. These can look like a group of people holding signs [while] wearing ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ outfits, passing out flyers outside to churchgoers or doing a die-in.”
Brian Burch, president of the advocacy group Catholic Vote, denounced the planned protests in a May 5 statement. “In the wake of the shameless leak of a draft opinion of the Supreme Court, pro-abortion groups are now threatening to disrupt Catholic churches and to protest outside the homes of Supreme Court justices,” he said.

Burch also called on President Joe Biden to “immediately and forcibly condemn these domestic terrorist threats.” Biden, himself a Catholic, has drawn flak for his support of abortion.
“Anti-Catholic zealots are planning to intimidate and harass Catholics across the country, along with justices and their families. This country was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The president must stand up for both.”
