Description
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday commended those who "channeled their righteous anger" over the Supreme Court's leaked draft decision that would strike down Roe v. Wade by organizing and marching.
"While we have seen and heard extraordinary anguish in our communities, we have been moved by how so many have channeled their righteous anger into meaningful action: planning to march and mobilize to make their voices heard," Pelosi wrote in a letter that was addressed to a "Democratic Colleague" and shared on her website.
While the Supreme Court has said that the leaked draft does not represent a final decision, the possibility that abortion rights in the U.S. could soon be rolled back has angered and mobilized many abortion-rights activists. Some protestors have even gathered outside the homes of certain justices in yet another aspect of the abortion rights issue that is receiving both support and backlash.
In the early morning hours of June 8, authorities arrested a man outside the home of US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Nicholas John Roske had come to the area from California to kill the judge. The suspect now faces charges for the attempted murder of a Supreme Court Justice.
