Protestors plan to head to Justice Clarence Thomas’ house Friday night in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning the landmark abortion rights decision Roe v. Wade.
“Enraged? Devastated? Pissed the fuck off? So are we,” Our Rights DC Tweeted Friday afternoon.
“Meet us at 5711 Burke Centre Pkwy. 6:30 PM we meet, 7 PM we carpool to the Thomas’s street. WEAR A MASK,” the group stated.
An organizer with Our Rights DC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
On Friday, the Supreme Court sided with the state of Mississippi in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, overturning nearly 50 years of a federally protected right to an abortion.
In the majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito claimed that previous court decisions upholding the rights to contraception and same-sex marriage — citing the right to privacy under the Constitution’s due-process clause — would not be similarly harmed.
However, Thomas, in a concurring opinion, pointedly failed to echo Alito’s assurances, writing that, “in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.”
