Daily Mail: Psaki DEFENDS activists threatening to protest outside Supreme Court justices' homes and slams Republicans for 'focusing on leak' of draft opinion and not 'women's fundamental rights' 

* Press secretary Jen Psaki refused to condemn on Thursday plans for protests to take place outside of conservative Supreme Court justices' homes 

* Psaki said there was a lot of 'passion, a lot of fear, a lot of sadness from many, many people across this country about what they saw in that leaked document' 

* She added to the query, asked by Fox News Channel's Peter Doocy, 'I don't have an official U.S. Government position on where people protest' 

* Doocy was citing a Fox News report that said pro-choice activists published what are likely the home addresses the six GOP-appointed justices 

* 'Is that the kind of thing this president wants to help your side make their point?' Doocy asked 

* Psaki also told reporters that the leak and the content of the draft are 'not at the same level' 

White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to condemn on Thursday plans for protests to take place outside of conservative Supreme Court justices' homes over the leaked draft opinion that suggests they plan to overturn Roe v. Wade. 

'Look, I think the president's view is that there's a lot of passion, a lot of fear, a lot of sadness from many, many people across this country about what they saw in that leaked document,' Psaki said. 

'We obviously want people's privacy to be respected.' She added to the query, asked by Fox News Channel's Peter Doocy, 'I don't have an official U.S. Government position on where people protest.'
