UNITED STATES – The protest does not weaken against the anti-abortion offensive. Senator Elizabeth Warren, ex-candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, took to the streets Tuesday, May 3 to vent her anger.
News site Politico revealed Monday night, using leaked Supreme Court working papers, that the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade. It has recognized abortion rights since 1973, which in turn has been targeted by elected conservatives.
Thousands of protesters rallied outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday to defend access to abortion against the draft decision. Among them Elizabeth Warren, very “angry” at this anti-abortion threat but “determined” to fight against this decline.

With very lively gestures reflecting her anger, she accused the Conservatives of “conspiring” and “meticulously” making sure the jury had a majority on their side “to get through something most Americans don’t want.” .
A project that threatens “the poorest women”.
Elizabeth Warren specifically targeted the arrival of Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, taking the seat vacant following the death of feminist Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The High Court, which decides social issues in the United States, is dominated by conservative judges (six out of nine judges). Three of them were nominated by Donald Trump.
“They knew what they would get if they voted for these people,” she said. And that’s what they want. It is up to the rest of us to make the legislative process work.”
“This will affect the poorest women in our country. This will affect young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest.”

Addressing abortion rights activists, Elizabeth Warren estimated that it is the most vulnerable women who will suffer the most if the Roe v. Wade is cancelled. “I’m angry because I know who’s going to pay the price for this. It’s not the rich women. Rich women can fly, she insisted. They can go to another state, to another country.” “They can get the protection they need,” she added.
The Supreme Court project “will affect the poorest women,” according to the senator, who also assured that “young women,” victims of incest and rape, “mothers who are already struggling” to feed and care for their children, to get punished.
For his part, the American President said he was “very concerned” and called on the left to mobilize to defend access to abortion, because if the court accepted this project, each of the 50 American states would find the right to do so to ban abortions on its soil. Half of them, mostly in the south and center of the country, should take this route.
Oklahoma just signed one of the most restrictive laws on abortion, banning it after six weeks of pregnancy, when most pregnant women are unaware that they are expecting a child.
