A group of pro-abortion activists carrying baby dolls descended upon Justice Amy Coney Barrett's home over the weekend.
The stunt is only the latest in a string of demonstrations targeting Supreme Court justices ahead of their ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which could effectively overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion.
On Saturday, pro-abortion organization Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights bussed a group of youth activists from New York to Washington, DC to stage the protest
They then proceeded to Justice Amy Coney Barrett's home, baby dolls in their hands, and red paint on their pants.
Youth procession with @riseup4abortion to Amy Coney Barrett’s home. What’s the big deal about forcing women and girls to have children against their will when they can just drop the baby off, she asked.

"We are here ... with our arms tied, with our mouths covered, holding dolls, because this is what Amy's America looks like," said one activist, who according to the organization was fifteen years old.
"Children will be forced to give birth to children," she continued. "Women will be silenced, women will be invalidated, women will be told they are less than." She then urged those who call themselves pro-choice to "take to the streets and stay."
Along the way, she was asked how she felt walking around tied up with a baby in her hands.

"It makes me feel terrified," she said.
Another activist added that while she was scared, it made her feel "powerful."
"This is what a lot of women are going through," she continued, claiming that "people are actually dying and bleeding out because they can't get a safe abortion."

Upon arriving at Justice Barrett's house, the activists dropped their dolls off and headed over to the Supreme Court, where another demonstration took place.
According to the group, their protest targeting Justice Barrett was in response to statements she made suggesting that the ability to put a child up for adoption could, in many cases, make abortion unnecessary by removing the "burden of parenthood."
The Supreme Court is releasing opinions on Tuesday and Thursday of this week.
