Pro-choice activists in Virginia gathered and protested outside Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home as Pro-abortion protests have been popping up across the United States, disrupting pro-life centers, Catholic churces and Doctors’ offices.
In the latest event, the group, Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, were dressed in white clothing soaked in fake blood while holding signs that read “Abortion on demand and without apology,” with dolls being taped to their wrists.
The activists claimed that their attire represented a surge in the number of forced births that would take place if Roe v. Wade was overturned.
They also claimed that the “American nightmare is forcing women to give birth,” and then chant “rise up for abortion,” threatening the government to wreak havoc if Barrett and the other justices strike down Roe v. Wade.
“This is what Amy’s America looks like. 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.” 15-year old protester Ariana said in a video.
The group also posted a tweet and said, “Just arrived at Amy Coney Barrett’s house, dropping off babies, re-enacting the American nightmare of forcing girls to give birth against their will. Headed to the Supreme Court, meet us there.”
“We aren’t incubators! Youth procession delivered baby dolls to Amy Coney Barrett. We aren’t protesting to change the minds of women-hating fascists.We’re calling on the pro-choice majority, on YOU, to get in the streets to STOP #SCOTUS from overturning Roe.” The group added.
Last week, pro-abortion activists also erupted outside Barrett’s home. They also protested last month and shouted “your neighbor says post-Roe, we say hell no!…Hey-hey, ho-ho, the handmaiden has got to go!”
Furthermore, the ShutDownDC demonstrated around the Supreme Court as the court’s decision looms Earlier this week. The group held signs with photos of the faces of each Supreme Court justice claiming to “rise up for the transformative change that our communities need.”
