Objections against abortion have amplified security surrounding court justices.
After a leak hinted they would overturn legalized abortion, US law enforcement agencies are beefing up protection for Supreme Court justices.
The US Marshals Service announced on Monday that it was assisting the agencies in charge of the judges’ safety.
On Monday night, a demonstration was held at Justice Samuel Alito’s home in Alexandria, Virginia. “Abort the court!” yelled activists.
This weekend, protests were held outside the houses of two more judges.
On Saturday night, a crowd of around 100 people marched from Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home in Chevy Chase, Maryland to Chief Justice John Roberts’ home nearby.
Turn off The aim, according to DC, the left-wing group behind Monday’s demonstration outside Justice Alito’s house, was to “hold the line.”
On the other hand, an anti-abortion center was set on fire on Sunday.
Demonstrations should never include “violence, threats, or vandalism,” according to the White House.
“[President Biden] strongly believes in the constitutional right to protest,” his press secretary Jen Psaki stated in a statement.
“However, violence, threats, or vandalism should never be included.” Judges serve an extremely important role in our society, and they must be able to carry out their duties without fear of physical harm.”
The US Marshals Service stated on Monday that it would assist the police agencies in charge of the security of the Supreme Court’s nine justices.
The decision to back up the justices’ security detail was made “in reaction to elevated security concerns arising from recent events,” according to the US Marshals Service.
According to a draught opinion released this week, the Supreme Court would eliminate the legally protected right to abortion for US women.
Wordle’s controversial response was ‘unintentional.’
Such a move would devolve abortion rights to individual US states, many of which are considering legislation prohibiting the operation.
The ultimate decision of the court is due in June.
The leaked document, written by conservative Justice Alito, referred to the 1973 Roe v Wade decision, which legalized abortion in the United States, as “egregiously wrong from the start.”
Meanwhile, in a deliberate attack, attackers set fire to the headquarters of Wisconsin Family Action, an anti-abortion group, on Sunday morning.
Outside the facility, a message was spray-painted that read, “If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you.”
The building was targeted with a Molotov cocktail.
Over the weekend, spray-paint was directed at a non-profit organization in Texas that gives free health care to pregnant women and encourages them to avoid abortions.
The slogans “not a clinic” and “forced delivery is murder” were daubed outside the entryway, according to the Denton Record-Chronicle.
What would happen if Roe v Wade were to be overturned?
Women need choice, says a priest who has undergone two abortions.
The leaked abortion ruling has divided American women.
If Roe is reversed, a prohibition on practically all abortions would take effect immediately in 13 states, with more to follow. It is expected that abortion would remain legal in around half of the US states.
New York legislators have introduced new laws.
