Pro-choice protesters descend on Coney Barrett's home with blood and doll props
Pro-choice protests have become more common following a leaked draft opinion signaling SCOTUS might overturn Roe v. Wade
By Emma Colton | Fox News
Pro-choice protesters congregated outside Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s Virginia home on Saturday, dressed in clothing appearing to be soaked with blood and holding baby doll toys.
"Abortion on demand and without apology," signs held by members of the group Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights read on Saturday as they stood outside Barrett’s home in Falls Church.
The protesters were armed with baby doll props and were wearing pants appearing to be soaked in blood to show a future of forced births if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
Protests erupted outside of conservative Supreme Court justices’ homes in recent weeks, following the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion signaling the nation's highest court might overturn Roe v. Wade.

According to the Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights group, the dolls represent forced births.

I don't understand the bloody pants. All women menstruate, so what's the point? If the problem is the Biden tampon shortage, take that up with the administration.

If ONLY more governors were on top of things like DeSantis. He just signed a bill making it illegal to protest outside a private home.

Right. Stupidity is not ordinarily a crime. It's just stupid.

As for the "incubators" bit, no one is forcing the vast majority of these women to get pregnant. No way they don't know how that happens, unless they grew up in a box somewhere quiet.
So, either use "protection" or just don't screw.

@Smokin Joe
Such a simple and obvious way to avoid unwanted births that it seems like anyone could easily understand it,doesn't it?
Essentially,what these people REALLY want is for the government to protect them from themselves.

Rule #1 - Actions have consequences and you should be prepared to accept responsibility for those consequences.

They're attempting to use protests - the threat of violence - to sway the opinion of a federal judge. That is a felony.

The irony of all this is that overturning Roe doesn't mean the abattoirs will stop plying their trade in death in liberal states, just that some states will choose to stop it.

Any judge that would allow voting to sway his legal opinions is in violation of his/her oath of office.

They're violating Virginia law, but local police are powerless to act?

If people suddenly started protesting outside the homes of Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Jackson (who doesn't even know what a woman is), would they be arrested for violating US law?

Almost certainly.
