Will Today's US Supreme Court Ruling On Abortion Result In Widespread Unrest, Violence, And Riots In The U.S. This Summer?

 

Daily Mail: Thousands of protesters hit the streets across the US and begin to mass outside Justice Clarence Thomas' home after he said SCOTUS should 'reconsider' gay marriage now Roe v. Wade has been overturned: Pro-choice extremists are planning 'Night of Rage' 

* Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas called on fellow jurists to overturn previous landmark rulings after the court nixed Roe v. Wade on Friday. 

* The changes, aired in a concurring opinion of the decision penned by Thomas, would see limits put on gay marriage, same-sex activity, and birth control access 

* Demonstrators protested outside Thomas' house on Friday afternoon, as President Joe Biden urged calm and stressed that any protest should remain peaceful 

* People across the country were taking to the streets - in DC, New York City, Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta and beyond 

* Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, said they were ready for their city to become a safe haven for those needing an abortion, as he revealed that when he was 15, his girlfriend needed and got an abortion 

* It comes as the Supreme Court controversially elected to strike down Roe v. Wade, a nearly 50 year-old decision that allowed women to have abortions 

Protesters sang and chanted outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday night, after he revealed he now has laws protecting gay marriage, gay sexual activity and contraception in his sights, after axing Roe v. Wade. 

Across the country, demonstrators were taking to the streets to express their anger at the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the 50-year law that guaranteed access to abortion in every state. 

In New York City, a crowd thousands strong massed in Union Square and Washington Square Park, and then marched up Park Avenue. In Washington DC, Union Square was the site of demonstrations, while protesters from Boston to Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit and Los Angeles marched in fury.
