Demonstrators have maintained a presence since a draft opinion was leaked in May. However, the crowd has grown since the official opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Across the country, there have many protests as well as violence in response to the 6-3 decision passed down by the court.
In Colorado on Saturday, a pregnancy center was vandalized and burned. The fire is being investigated by the FBI.
On Friday, the LAPD arrested a man at a protest for attempted murder. Michael Ortiz, 30 used a makeshift flame thrower to injure a police officer.
Liberal politicians have been encouraging people to protest, while most of them add to do it peacefully, Maxine Waters used the decision by the SCOTUS to rile up leftists saying, “to hell with the Supreme Court… We will make sure to fight for the rights to control our bodies”.

There is no telling how long these protests will go on.
With this decision, the Supreme Court turns the power of regulating abortion back to the states to decide how they want to handle it. Some states have “trigger laws” that will effectively ban abortion in the state, while others have moved to legalize abortion through the final trimester as well as fund abortions, and become “sanctuary states”.
