Droves of protesters are descending on the Supreme Court in the wake of a decision on a major abortion case.
“I didn’t want to be here, I didn’t think I had to be here because it’s settled law. I hope you know that, Clarence Thomas, and I hope you know that, Alito, and the rest of the justices that voted to overturn Roe V. Wade. I am very disappointed, it’s not going to stop abortions, it’s just going to make them unsafe,” Cathy from Fairfax, Virginia, said.
The decision means states can bar people from terminating pregnancies, and many states had"trigger laws" in place to stop abortions if Roe were overturned. Eight-foot-high fencing is keeping demonstrators off the Supreme Court plaza, which is typically open to the public. Smaller fences were seen around the court in recent weeks.The U.S. Department of Homeland security warned of a “heightened threat environment” in its June 7DHS says it is coordinating with the FBI and other agencies to monitor potential threats.
