Protestors gathered to demonstrate at the homes of some Supreme Court Justices and headquarters of pro-life organizations following the leaked draft of the Dobbs decision.
From Fox News. Demonstrators rallied outside the Northern Virginia home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Monday evening to protest his draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Videos of the protesters flanked by cameramen showed people marching up and down the street chanting slogans like: “our bodies, our voice!” and “Alito is a coward!” (Excerpt from Fox News.)
From Daily Mail. Antifa vandals hurled at least one Molotov cocktail into offices of an anti-abortion group in Wisconsin and scrawled a chilling message on the wall that read: ‘If abortions aren’t safe you aren’t either.’
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you
The damage was discovered on Mother’s Day morning when a passerby called police and reported seeing smoke coming from the headquarters of the anti-abortion group Wisconsin Family Action in Madison.
The Antifa symbol – a capital ‘A’ inside a circle – was also scrawled on the wall, as well as the numbers 1312 – a code for the letters ACAB, which stand for ‘All Cops Are Bastards’
Julaine Appling, president of the lobbying and advocacy organization, told the Wisconsin State Journal that a window was broken, books were burned, and there was graffiti on the walls, but the full extent of the damage is not yet known.
The organization lobbies against abortion rights and gay marriage, according to their website….
Abortion rights protesters rallied in cities around the U.S. on Saturday, vowing to fight to ensure that abortion remains a legal option for women nationwide. Pro-life advocates took to the streets in opposition….
In Houston, thousands attended a reproductive rights rally headlined by Democrat Beto O’Rourke, who is running for Texas governor.
Texas is one of the states that will automatically ban abortion, leaving no exceptions for rape or incest, if the high court overturns the nationwide right to abortion.
Wisconsin is also one of the states with a decades-old abortion ban predating Roe that would presumably take effect almost immediately after a formal Supreme Court reversal of the case. But even in those states, Democratic governors would have an opportunity to fight the change in their state courts.
On Saturday, furious pro-choice protesters screamed ‘you don’t care if people die’ while picketing the house of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
Dozens of demonstrators gathered in the rain in DC and marched towards the homes of conservative Justices Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh in response to the leaked Supreme Court draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade….
The Supreme Court draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito and published by POLITICO, was leaked on Monday. The document revealed the court has voted to strike down the landmark 1973 ruling Rove v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States….
Alito’s draft does not necessarily represent the sentiments of other justices who did not pen the opinion, but it’s been suggested that the court’s 6-3 conservative supermajority, which include Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh, will likely deliver on the historic reversal….
The protests came after the White House said it encourages ‘peaceful protests,’ would not tell abortion activists to avoid the justices’ homes.
‘The president, for all those women, men, others who feel outraged, who feel scared, who feel concerned, he hears them, he shares that concern and that horror that he saw in that draft opinion,’ White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.
She said President Joe Biden’s message to those angered by the draft is to ‘participate in peaceful protest’.
‘Ensure it’s peaceful. Have your voice heard peacefully. We should not be resorting to violence in any way, shape or form,’ Psaki added.
Saturday’s protests seem to just be the start as liberal group ShutDown DC already plans to host a ‘Vigil for Abortion Rights’ outside of Alito’s house on May 9.
‘Justice Alito thinks he can take away our rights. But our rights are fundamentally ours. We’re showing up to tell him in person,’ the group said….
Alito, who was nominated to the court in 2006 by George W Bush, argues that Roe’s ‘reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. Far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.’
But there were few signs that the new ruling will do anything to heal those divisions, with protesters gathering outside the court in Washington DC last night.
If the ruling is overturned by the conservative-dominated court – with Republicans having a 6 – 3 majority – it would give individual states the power to decide on whether to ban abortion. The Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice research group, has said that 26 states are ‘certain or likely’ to ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned….

Abortion is a weapon promoted by elite billionaires used for world population control. They also use war, wide open borders which brings in drugs, killings, disease, etc, etc. America is being destroyed by only allowing radical left voices. To be heard. Conservatives are being censored.
Why aren’t law enforcement arresting the protestors or at least breaking it up? It’s against the law to harass or protest against the highest judges of our land. Uphold the law !!!! God protect our Supreme Court judges who are standing for righteousness and Biblical truth and protecting the unborn.
Why are they not arresting them if it’s a crime ?
“Not your body, not your life, not your choice”. That is ironically correct. The baby is not your body, not your life, and not your choice. Exactly right. *mic drop*
O Lord our God, bind the justices into a coalition of conscience from which nothing will move them, to break America’s covenant with death, and get us off the path of destruction we have been on.
May murder once again be illegal for all persons, not just those already born.
Break the back of Roe v Wade.
May all those who value life rise up and support and expand the pregnancy clinic movement to provide help and support for women in unplanned pregnancies, may the adoption movement bloom and grow.
May You change the hearts of Americans to know and understand the plight of preborn people and to participate in their rescue.
Lord, in your mercy, may we as United States citizens:
“… put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
Ephesians 4:24 – NIV
Amen 🙏🏽
I am pro-life even to the point that I feel it’s wrong to abort a baby conceived in a rape or incest. But here I am, living in a city of over 150 thousand, with lots of Christian churches, and there is not one single counseling center for women facing unplanned pregnancies which does NOT discuss abortion as an option. All Christians, myself included, need to do a much better job at reaching these women, and helping them understand that choosing life for their precious babies is the answer. Ranting and raving and calling horrible names about those who are pro-abortion is not pleasing to God. Yes, it’s important to take a strong stand about this issue. But behaving in a mean-spirited manner is not at all productive, and is not Christ-like at all.
I suggest you check out Care Net and inquire what they need to open up an office where you live. They provide free testing, counseling and support !
Do they speak about admiration as an option?
Sorry, I meant do they speak to abortion as options in counseling?
I was watching an interview on Newsmax. Rob had interviewed a reformed Abortion doctor who had shared in detail what’s involved and it’s really sad. The doctor had changed his mind due to his daughter dieing in a car wreck and he goes on to explain in the interview that one day he was looking at the pile of baby body parts and couldn’t do it anymore. My guess is when he lost his daughter he began to realize how important life really is. Abortion is very gruesome. I never liked Abortion but I was pro choice because I had felt the mother would have that choice who am I to judge. Then I was pro life because I got to thinking about the aborted and really just didn’t understand why Adoption is not enough. Even in an event of rape. It’s not the childs fault that it’s a product of well you know. Then I was pro women pretty much in the since of really just not judging and condemning while still being very anti abortion and pro life. Then once I saw the interview of what the doctor was explaining abortion. Also I know God is not pleased with the killing of the aborted.
I really do hope Roe v. Wade is overturned and that when the Abortion rights are returned to the states and people that we will decide that abortion never happen and that life is the answer. If the couple or mom decides they are not ready to raise a child then adoption is the answer.
I am Pro choice you have the choice to protect yourself from getting pregnant to begin with. You are the gate keeper to your own body. Besides rape, no one can force you to be pregnant. You are the one who knows your desire to have or not have kids. It is your job to protect your own body at all cost from becoming pregnant to begin with. Either abstaining from sex (the only true guarantee) or using multiple forms of birth control. Your choice is before conception, not after. If you don’t dont do everything it takes to prevent yourself from being pregnant to begin with it is you who does not value your own life, your own body, or your own future. You take it all for granted, and use abortion killing your own child as a form of birth control. We live in a first world country it is not like we don’t know how babies are created.
Ahem…..these protesters keep saying ” my body, my choice”.. ok then. What happened to “My body my choice” when this forced ” vaccination came out..I even submitted a RELIOUS EXEMPTION..But was fired for stating ” my body my choice”…I refuse to get the vax. .I was like a new baby….TERMINATED..
Anthony you are right; it’s all political. We have family that we’re also denied religious exemptions for the jab., who also we’re fired or quit. And my body my choice was not supported. There’s a lot of money in murder. Planned parenthood is federally funded. It should not be!pray for those who are on the front lines to overturn this bill, and pray for the Lord to open the eyes of our representatives and officials who support the murder of the innocents —local and state-or remove them from office. in our respective states
All rights come from God. The first right is the right to life; without the right to life, all other rights are meaningless. God alone is the author of life, and He alone decides when a life should start and when it should end. The evil one, who hates God and all his creatures, will stop at nothing to destroy life. He incites man to be destroy rather than to protect what is good. In the end, however, God will win this battle because good always conquers evil. We, his faithful servants, must align our actions with his and protect all human life from natural conception to natural death.
Mary you are right on; the churches were silent when this horrible event had become political issue. Christians we’re silent…and didn’t get involved. We have to vote our conscious, write letters and get involved. Support agencies who counsel women to help them by not use adoration as an option. American is and has been under judgement for this horrible act of murdering millions of babies.
Thank you for pointing that out in the comments. I had also noticed it when I read the article and wondered who wrote this
Please do not frame pro-life groups in the way you did in this piece. You say ” anti-abortion group Wisconsin Family Action in Madison.” Tey are a PRO LIFE group not an anti-abortion group.
This is a repost from Fox News and Daily Mail.
Please note that this is an excerpt taken from Fox News. Apparently it was not edited. You are right on track with negativity, even from Fox News. Write them. Thanks for taking notice.
May our words be seasoned with salt in every situation. Help us, Lord, to be led by You in all we say and do. Amen.
This article stated that the pro-choice protesters screamed “you don’t care if people die” while picketing. Isn’t this insanity? They are picketing for the “right” of women to kill their babies, that’s it. They are the ones who don’t care if people die, specifically the unborn or preborn or now even the newly born. This is not a women’s rights issue or an access to healthcare issue as they would have the public believe. The only “right” a woman could potentially be denied is the “right” to legally kill her baby. I put the word “right” in quotation marks because calling abortion a “right” is a false narrative from the beginning and makes it appear women are losing something when that has never been the case. I haven’t lost my right to rob a bank, because robbing a bank is not a constitutional right I have, so the fact that it is illegal doesn’t mean my rights are being violated or taken away. Killing an unborn child is not a right, never has been. Women are not losing any reproductive rights, murder will once again be illegal instead of legal – that’s all. This Supreme Court decision to overturn would put the decision back to the states, so it will continue to be debated. Women will still have all their constitutional rights intact and access to all healthcare – saying that they are losing these is a false narrative but plays well in the media and gets people riled up. Picket signs that read “make murder legal” or “keep murder legal” don’t play as well in the media. This is satan destroying God’s miraculous gift of life. Prayers for these Justices’ protection and for their hearts, that they would be moved to do what is right in God’s eyes, not man’s. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
Please Lord God hear our prayers about overturning Roe v Wade. Please let Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh not buckle underneath these protests, and not change their minds. Thank you for them and for Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas and Amy Conan Barrett and Neal Gorsuch. Please protect all of these justices from the angry protestors. Let the protesters see clearly and change their hearts toward you. Let the other three justices see clearly the error of this law, and change their hearts toward you also.
Thank you ✝️
My prayer is that the true church would rise up with the power of the Holy Spirit, the righteous anger of God over the abomination of the shedding of the blood of 70million innocent souls, and the gentleness of Jesus. If there are 500 protestors surrounding our SCOTUS Justices homes, let there be 50,000 Christ followers who will be spurred to join together to protect them! Let us be an army for the pre-born, equipped with the armor of God, and may we be forgiven for allowing the devil to get a foothold 50 yrs. ago with abortion and largely remaining silent. Rid our churches, O Lord, of those who have infected it with the outrageous lies that abortion is a good & Godly thing! I pray the Lord to cleanse the atmosphere of confusion and delusion that hangs over our nation like a heavy shroud, to stop a culture of death and upend the lie that abortion is a Constitutional right. Bring to shame those who are paying these protestors (for there are those who are) to carry out the devil’s tactics of intimidation and domination & may the Hound of Heaven convict them of sin, of righteousness & of judgment leading them to salvation. May the angry mob shouting, ‘You want people to die’ in front of the homes of our Justices be shown their hypocrisy that no, it is they who want death. May those who chant for hands off their uteri be shown their hypocrisy that every abortion of a female baby destroys, in most barbaric fashion, the uterus of a girl. I pray that truth would reach the hearts and minds of our people & horrify them that dead babies are now a commodity for huge profit. May a spirit of unity be found in this nation of ours that it is not only morally reprehensible to snuff out lives but depraved to murder them alive, and to vote out the politicians who have voted dozens and dozens of times to refuse living babies protections. May America be made aware & aghast over the perverse use of babies for grotesque experimentation. Convict this nation’s collective hearts of its preoccupation with love of self, that true love & justice isn’t the selfishness that would kill unwanted babies to pursue money, career or fame. Thwart & silence the influential who would dare to thank a holy and righteous God for abortion as a means for success. Let not the potential overturning of Roe result in a malicious vengeance campaign against states whose constituents have already spoken their values for the pre-born by electing representatives who also oppose it–for states rights is our Constitutional right, not murder. Let it not widen the chasm between Left, Right or further the division & rancor in our nation. And, dear Jesus, please stop in its tracks the California legislature’s vote to make murder of infants not a punishable crime up to 4 weeks after birth! Use each and every one of us in our own capacity to speak truth boldly, to make a difference in the mind of at least one person who is pro-abortion while letting Your peace reign in our hearts. In Jesus’s mighty name, may America choose the path of life You have set before us. Amen.
Please Lord God…let this insanity end that has plagued us for almost 50 years. Abortion is murder no matter how someone wants to sugar coat it. In recent years, it has become outright murder (killing a baby outside the mother’s womb if he/she lives)…it’s just plain insanity. Please lead these people to stop the insanity and turn to God for redemption in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
As Jesus did simply that Gods will be done. And the protesters will be silenced and get a conscience.
