Activists supporting abortion rights demonstrated Monday night outside Justice Samuel Alito’s house to protest the possible reversal of the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, following similar rallies at the homes of other Supreme Court justices over the weekend.
A group of about 150 protesters marched to Alito's residence from a nearby strip mall in Fairfax County, Virginia, carrying banners and signs while chanting, “When mothers lives are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back,” and “Keep abortion safe and legal.”
