Judge's 'bloody' hell
Fake spatter, real Roe fury at Amy’s home
Pro-choice activists protested outside Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s house over the weekend, donning clothes stained with fake blood and holding baby dolls.
The protesters marched to the Falls Church, Va., home of Barrett (inset) on Saturday and held signs in- cluding one with a coat hanger on it that said, “Not going back.”
The youth activists, part of a group called Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, tied their hands together with tape and held the plastic dolls.
“This is what Amy’s America looks like,” a 15-year-old protester named Ariana says in a video the group posted. “Children will be forced to give birth to children. Women will be silenced. Women will be invalidated. Women will be told they are less than.
“And that is not OK. We cannot let that happen . . . You can’t let this future happen to us. It’s not fair.”
The group, which pushes slogans including “forced motherhood = female enslavement,” called the protest the “Women Are Not Incubators Youth Procession.”
The group said it isn’t working to “change the minds of womenhating fascists” but rather is “calling on the pro-choice majority” in the US to stop the Supreme Court from overturning the abortionrights case Roe v. Wade.
The Supreme Court is set to announce whether it will overturn the landmark abortion case as soon as this week.
Home-rally alarm
A majority of Americans believe it’s wrong to protest outside the homes of Supreme Court justices, according to a Fox News poll. The group includes a majority of Republicans, while 58% of Democrats say they see nothing wrong with the demonstrations.
Overall, 37% of respondents said the protests are appropriate.
The poll came after the arrest of an allegedly armed California man near the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in Chevy Chase, Md., earlier this month.
Nicholas John Roske, 26, was charged in federal court with attempting to kill or kidnap a US judge in the June 8 incident.
Authorities say he was carrying a Glock 17 pistol, two magazines, ammunition, a tactical vest, tactical knife, zip ties and pepper spray.
The suspect also was carrying burglary equipment and padded shoes, officials said.
Roske allegedly told authorities that he was upset because he believed the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade and that Kavanaugh would help loosen the nation’s gun-control laws.
