Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Supreme Court Monday night after a leaked draft majority opinion showed the Supreme Court voted to strike down the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and eliminate federal constitutional protections for abortion.
The crowd outside the courthouse grew to at least 500 people Monday night after POLITICO published the leaked document that was drafted in February, drawing pro-choice activists calling for abortion protections and anti-abortion counterprotesters defending the leaked decision. The court’s decision is not final until it is made public, which will likely happen in the next two months, according to POLITICO.
