Nicholas Roske, charged with attempting to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, told detectives after he was arrested last week that he was upset about a leaked Supreme Court draft decision concerning abortion, according to court documents.
Roske’s alleged plot was the most striking but hardly the only apparent example of backlash — some of which has been violent — to last month’s leak of a draft opinion indicating the nation’s highest court may vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that established the right to an abortion.
Pro-choice protesters on Monday blocked several intersections surrounding the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. as part of the “Shut Down SCOTUS” protest.
“My body, my choice,” demonstrators chanted as they marched to the Supreme Court, which issued decisions that day and is expected to issue more on Wednesday.
The crowd dispersed after hearing a ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case whose decision could effectively overturn Roe, would not be announced. An announcement is expected either this month or in early July.
Two days before the protest, pro-abortion militants firebombed a pregnancy center in Gresham, Ore. that provides maternal care and information to expecting mothers.
