They recognized me and tried to taunt me. pic.twitter.com/WCF11iCCWg Some neighbors came out in support of the protestors. The man in the hat incorrectly identified me as James O’Keefe. pic.twitter.com/ATyJta95sSPro-abortion activists wearing Handmaid's Tale costumes went to the home of Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Wednesday evening, just before 8 p.m.
The protesters at Justice Barrett's Falls Church, Virginia, home marched around her cul-de-sac for about 30 minutes with signs including "keep your rosaries off of my ovaries," referencing her Catholic faith.

One of the activists demanded that Justice Barrett does not know what it is like to carry a pregnancy to term, because she adopted her children. However, Justice Barrett has five biological children and two adopted children. At Justice Amy Barrett’s house, I asked a protestor why she thinks a woman would ironically take away women’s rights.
Answer: It’s possible that being an adoptive mother is influencing her inability to see what it’s like to carry a pregnancy to term.

"It's also possible that the fact that she's an adoptive mother is influencing her inability to see what it's like to carry a pregnancy to term," the protester told photographer John Wesley Reid.
"Well she's had five kids by herself," Reid noted.
The seemingly exasperated protester changed her tune when presented with the information, saying, "not everybody wants to have five kids, or four kids, or one kid."
Some of the protesters appeared to be men. I asked this pro-abortion protester at Justice Barrett’s house when life begins. He would not answer my question. pic.twitter.com/YlGWtxJ0V3

At least one neighbor came out to defend Justice Barrett, saying the protesters should "go home and get a family." Spoke with one of Justice Barrett’s neighbors. He says the protestors should “Go home and get a family.” pic.twitter.com/wBWLWOJfAt

The home addresses of conservative Supreme Court justices were published online last week by a group calling themselves Ruth Sent Us.
Earlier this week, the Senate passed legislation to provide security at the homes of Supreme Court justices.
As Timcast previously reported, pro-abortion protesters marched into the neighborhood of Justice Samuel Alito on Monday evening in protest of the leaked opinion he authored to overturn Roe v. Wade. Activists also protested outside the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday evening.
Two legal experts confirmed to Timcast that the protests at the homes of justices appears to violate 18 U.S.C. § 1507, which prohibits "pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer" are prohibited when done with the intent "of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice."
Pro-abortion activists staged a protest outside of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco mansion on Tuesday evening. A protester with a bullhorn declared that it was because "Pelosi and the whole leadership of the Democratic party has been complicit, complicit with the fascist Republican party that warns to not only only eliminate abortion rights, but gay marriage, trans rights, and a whole slew, a whole slew of rights!"

The protests are in response to a draft opinion showing that the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, which was leaked to Politico last week.
Until the opinion is signed, justices can still change their minds and keep Roe in place. If it is overturned, abortion law will be returned to the states to decide.
A majority of 75.8 percent of voters believe that the pro-abortion protests at the homes of Supreme Court justices is "unacceptable," including a 66.6 percent majority of Democrats, 86.5 percent of Republicans, and 75.1 percent of independents, according to a poll released earlier this week.
