WASHINGTON (Reuters), Hundreds protestors for abortion rights gathered at the U.S. Supreme Court in angrily after an unusual leak revealed that a majority judge was poised to repeal Roe v. Wade, which allowed abortion to be legalized nationwide.

After Politico published on Monday a draft opinion which would invalidate the historic decision, many were calling for Congress Democrats to act to preserve access to abortion and to condemn any possible ruling that would remove their fundamental rights.

Annie McDonnell (19 years old), a George Washington University student, stated that the draft’s first sentence is “that this is a moral matter.” She was referring to the opinion. You shouldn’t deprive us of our choices if it’s moral.

One sign that was held high read, “Justices out of my genital area.” One sign said, “I Love Someone Who Had an Abortion.”

A smaller group of anti-abortion activists were also present, some with guitars and drums, singing, “Hey! Hey!” Ho, ho. Roe v. Wade has got to go.”

Abortion supporters shouted back, “Abortion = Healthcare.” There were also chants from “Do something Democrats”

According to conservative Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion, the court will find Roe v. Wade wrongly decided as the U.S. Constitution does not specifically mention abortion rights. Reuters could not confirm that the draft was authentic.

Moira Flath (22 years old) said that she was shocked to hear the bad news at 9:15 pm.

The University of Delaware student stated that while part of her is cautiously optimistic and like to see people who get up at 10 or 11 in the morning to do this, it gives me hope for my generation. However, she warned, “It’s going be very difficult.”

Erin Sheehan was Erin’s 21-year-old roommate. She said, “Everyone should be able fight for this, and no one, particularly not men, should tell you what you can or cannot do to our bodies.”
