Following this week\u2019s Supreme Court opinion leak, several pro-abortion groups are calling for protests during mass services at Catholic churches on Mother\u2019s Day. Catholic churches are being targeted because four Supreme Court justices, including Justice Alito, are considered by abortion activists to be Catholic ‘extremists’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protests began organizing as a group of radical activists gathered in front of the Supreme Court building soon after Politico <\/span>revealed<\/span><\/a> the opinion draft written by Justice Alito. In addition to protesting outside of churches, activists plan to gather<\/a> at the homes of the conservative justices. According to <\/span>Fox News<\/span><\/a>, police have erected a fence around the building and there is a strong police presence at the justices’ homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rise Up 4 Abortion, whose slogan is \u201cAbortion on demand and without apology,\u201d has planned an entire \u201c<\/span>week of action\u201d<\/span><\/a> beginning on Mother\u2019s Day, May 8<\/span>. The group calls for action outside of churches<\/span> while wearing “Handmaid’s Tale” outfits in protest<\/span>. The group is encouraging activists to \u201cchalk your town\u201d and put up posters on Monday. On Tuesday, the group will \u201cgreen out\u201d landmarks and statues with large pieces of green fabric to represent support for abortion, and are calling on graffiti artists to leave their mark, as well. Wednesday will involve mass banner drops over freeways that are expected to remain in place for days or weeks. Thursday has been deemed \u201cNational Student Walk-Out\u201d day. The group is asking high school students to collectively walk out of school in support for abortion rights and even hold a rally on their school campus. The group has entitled Friday as the day for a \u201cNational Die-In.\u201d According to their <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>, \u201c<\/span>This form of street theater dramatizes the grim realities of what happens when abortion is not easily accessible or legal \u2013 women die.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian Burch, president of Catholic Vote, made a <\/span>statement<\/span><\/a> on Thursday, saying, “In the wake of the shameless leak of a draft opinion of the Supreme Court, pro-abortion groups are now threatening to disrupt Catholic churches and to protest outside the homes of Supreme Court justices this Sunday.\u201d He continued, “President Biden must immediately and forcibly condemn these domestic terrorist threats\u2026 This country was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The President of the United States must stand up for both.”<\/span><\/p>\n

But no condemnation has come from the Biden administration. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Jen Psaki, President Biden\u2019s press secretary, was asked about the planned protests at churches, as well the justices\u2019 homes. She did not condemn any portion of the plans. \u201cI don\u2019t have an official U.S. government position on where people protest,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cThe reason people are protesting is because women across the country are worried about their fundamental rights that have been law for 50 years, their rights to make choices about their own bodies and their own health care are at risk. That\u2019s why people are protesting! They\u2019re unhappy! They\u2019re scared!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to the threats, Live Action Founder and President Lila Rose, <\/span>said<\/span><\/a>, \u201cWe won\u2019t stand down. Our peaceful, loving movement will continue to help women and families in need, educate them about the violence of abortion, advocate for pro-life laws, and stand for life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
