Pro-abortion rights demonstrators descended on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s home in Virginia on Friday night to protest the high court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which was announced hours earlier.
Protesters showed up with signs and began chanting. Members of the crowd called the justice's wife, Ginni, an"insurrectionist," likely referring to her correspondence supporting efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election, and others yelled"Off with their d***s!" in response to the ruling. Clarence Thomas was one of the five justices to vote in support of overturning Roe, which ended the nationwide right to an abortion.
