(Washington) Demonstrators opposed to the decision of the Supreme Court to invalidate the right to abortion in the United States briefly interrupted a hearing before the highest court in the country, Wednesday morning, in Washington.
Posted at 11:34 a.m.
The protesters notably urged American women to go and vote in the midterm elections next week.
It was the first disruption to Supreme Court hearings since the top court’s June ruling stripping away constitutional abortion guarantees for American women after nearly fifty years under the ruling. Roe v. Wade from 1973.
Three people rose in the courtroom in the first minutes of Wednesday’s session to denounce the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion, rendered in a Mississippi case.
The judges did not appear to react to the disturbance. The protesters did not resist when guards escorted them out of the courtroom.
The Supreme Court was hearing a case on Wednesday that was unrelated to abortion.
“Our right to choose will not be taken away from us,” said a protester. Women, vote for our right to choose. »
