Conservative Supreme Court justices were the subject of protests, some at their homes, after the May leak of the court's decision that ultimately stripped away constitutional protections for abortion.
For veteran anti-abortion activists, the leaked U.S. Supreme Court document reads like a detailed dream come true, spelling out a potential ruling allowing states to ban abortion. Yet even as they celebrate, there are hard-nosed assessments from some about the political battles that lie ahead if the national map becomes a patchwork of conflicting laws. One says that if the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision is overturned, she and her allies will press Republican-governed states to swiftly outlaw abortion. They would also step up lobbying in Democratic strongholds where it is protected. Another challenge: how to prevent women in states with bans from accessing mail-order pills to self-induce abortions.
