Protesters Rally Outside Homes Of Kavanaugh, Roberts

Washington DC’s CBS News affiliate reports:

Rain did not stop dozens of pro-choice protesters that took to the streets of Chevy Chase, Md. to pay a visit to the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“You don’t get to take away my bodily autonomy and get enjoy your Saturday at home. You can do one or the other,” said Nikki Enfield who is outraged by the leaked draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade., ending the constitutional right to abortion.

The first stop, Justice Kavanaugh’s home, where chants of “No uterus, no opinion” were greeted by Montgomery County police officers. Organizers asked the crowd to continue moving to avoid arrests and allow the flow of traffic in the residential area.

Bloomberg News reports:

The protest was a fresh demonstration of the growing vitriol over abortion as the court considers eliminating constitutional protections. The issue exploded Monday when Politico published the leaked draft opinion.

“The time for civility is over, man,” said Lacie Wooten-Holway, 39, a local resident who helped organize Saturday’s protest. “Being polite doesn’t get you anywhere.”

Roberts and Kavanaugh earlier declined to comment on the protests. “The court as a matter of policy does not discuss security arrangements,” Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said Friday.
