Justices on the Supreme Court are preparing to meet on Thursday for their first conference amid fallout from the leaked draft opinion that, if published, would erode abortion access in roughly half of the nation.
The leaked draft opinion, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, incited protests outside the high court and throughout the nation on May 2 and in the succeeding days. Since then, protesters organized outside Alito's house on Monday and amassed outside the homes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh over the weekend.
Additionally, a group called Ruth Sent Us, which protested outside the homes of Kavanaugh and Roberts over the weekend, has planned more protests outside the homes of all six Republican-appointed justices on Wednesday.
