Pro-abortion demonstrators showed up at the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. The rally outside Alito’s Virginia home Monday evening was organized by the group Shut Down D.C., in what they called a “vigil for abortion rights.”
This comes one week after the leaked draft opinion indicated the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade.

As protesters intensified, the Senate passed legislation Monday to boost security for the justices. The Supreme Court Police Party Act is expected to provide details similar to those given to members of Congress and White House officials.
Protesters suggested this won’t be the last time they demonstrate outside the home of a Supreme Court justice.
