Pro-Abortion Protesters Interrupt Supreme Court Arguments

A group of pro-abortion protesters briefly interrupted oral arguments at the United States Supreme Court on Wednesday (November 2) to voice their displeasure over the Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which stripped women of their constitutional right to have an abortion.

During the first few minutes of arguments on Bittner v. United States, a case involving the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, a woman in the back of the courtroom stood up and yelled, "I respectfully rise to denounce Dobbs," before adding, "Women, vote."

Another woman rose and yelled, "The right to choose will not be taken away. Women, vote for your right to choose."

A third protester then stood up from her seat and said, "We will restore our right to choose. Women of America, vote!"

The three women were escorted out of the courtroom by security without incident. Officials have not said if the women will face charges.

The Justices did not react to the outburst.
