CauseLeak of a draft majority opinion for the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization revealing Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey will be overturned if finalized.

A series of abortion rights and anti-abortion protests were held in the United States in May - June 2022, following the leak of a draft majority opinion for the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which would overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey if approved.[1][2][3]

Background

Protest in Washington, D.C.

On May 2, 2022, Politico released a first draft of a majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, the authenticity of which Politico said it had verified.[3] The draft opinion would overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey if held by the majority and thereby finalized in its present form. Alito's draft decision called the Roe decision "egregiously wrong from the start", as abortion is not listed in the Constitution as a protected right and instead would allow states to decide on abortion restrictions or guarantees under the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.[3][4]

Shortly after the release of the document, multiple protests occurred in cities throughout the country and outside the Supreme Court Building in Washington D.C., along with multiple individuals such as lawyers, politicians, and activist groups speaking out about the leaked draft.[5]

According to The Hill, the Reproductive Freedom Protest (RFP) planned walkouts at more than 20 U.S. universities, including Brown University, Florida International University, Georgetown University, Hamilton College, Purdue University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia Tech.[6]

Women's March

Women's March along with Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights groups organized large-scale marches across the U.S. on May 14, 2022.[232]

Response

Women's March supported the national demonstration.[233] Multiple politicians made comments about the protests and those protesting after the leaked opinion, with some causing debates and past comments and/or actions brought into the discussion. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) used Twitter to claim any women participating in the protests were "over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no Bumble matches". Rebekah Jones and Margaret Schiller, both Democrats seeking the district seat, responded by referencing an ongoing federal investigation into allegations that Gaetz had traveled out of state to have sex with a teenage girl.[234]

About protests outside private homes

After protests outside of the homes of Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh in early May 2022, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted that while President Biden was a strong believer in the constitutional right to protest, it should never include violence, threats, or vandalism. Psaki added that Judges were a highly important function in the United States and must be able to do their jobs without concern for personal safety.[235] The United States Capitol Police and the National Fusion Center Association alerted to potential violence in Washington, D.C., against the nine justices and their staffs as well as nationwide against abortion-related advocacy groups and First Amendment-protected events.[236] In May, senators Chris Coons (D-DE) and John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced legislation to allow Supreme Court Police to provide all nine justices and their families 24 hour protection.[235] The bill passed the House on June 14 in a 396-27 vote, with opposition from some Democrats who wished to broaden the bill to also protect the family members of Supreme Court staff,[237] and was signed into law by President Biden on June 16.[238]

Republicans argued that those protests violate a 1950 federal law that criminializes attempting to influence a judge in the course of their official duties by demonstrating at their residence.[nb 1][239] Maryland governor Larry Hogan and Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin cited the law in a request to the US Department of Justice for adequate resources to protect the justices and their families.[240] Justice Clarence Thomas said the Court would not "be bullied" by the demonstrators.[241] Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) stated in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News that the protests at the Justices homes were "mob violence to get their partisan outcome"; however, reports from both protests claimed to show no violence and about 100 protestors attending the protests.[242]

On May 16, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law making it a second degree misdemeanor to protest in front of private citizen's homes, saying "Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate."[243]
