Protesting peacefully in front of the SC Building is an appropriate form of protest as is calling and writing to elected reps.

Harassing people at their homes and at their churches is not.
I'm sure this back and forth is becoming extremely boring to everyone else in this thread, and I won't respond to this specific thing again.

Now. What's appropriate feedback when the public at large disagrees with a Supreme Court decision?

Why do that?
Because he has sworn an oath to support and defend the US Constitution. Roe is being overturned on Constitutional grounds.

I answered you question already in the post you are responding to in the second and third paragraph.

That doesn't answer the question.

The people have every right to peaceful protest, even if it's loud and shrill and annoying.

What is the president's duty here? Are you suggesting he tell the public not to make their feelings known?

That the citizens who believe they're entitled to Roe protections should just go home and draw their shutters closed and lump it?

not in this country

It's like BLM riots all over again. Things will be burned and rocks thrown, and upheaval in the streets but it will be called peaceful protesting. Dems need to learn to accept things that don't go their way. They are acting like babies stomping their feet until they get their way.

They sure are fighting hard for their rights to kill babies up until birth.

Contact your Congressional Representative and/or State Representatives that you want the law changed.

Yep. And protest peacefully outside of the SC building but don’t confront people at their homes or churches.

Well, you could do that. That's an option, although this is a pending supreme court decision that hasn't been made yet, so it seems the most direct, and likely effective, way to deal with it is to rise up as a very large voice and protest.

Who knows, they have changed the votes and may not even have the votes to overturn anymore. As the process goes, we aren't entitled to the inner workings until they're ready to announce, so this will drag on for months.

Additionally, during this time, states will have the chance to watch this unfold and consider their trigger laws that will make abortion illegal on overturning Roe. So that's an opportunity the protesters don't want to miss.

Constitutionally, Roe confers no abortion protection. That's why it's being overturned and the regulation of abortion is being correctly returned to the states. Much like the states regulate 2nd Amendment Rights as they see fit.

As Biden has sworn an oath to support and defend the US Constitution, he has a duty to support and defend this year's overturning of Roe on Constitutional grounds. Since he promised to be a "uniter," why isn't he uniting?

How is protesting at churches going to change anything? The people at church are not making the decision. You’re just going to scare and intimidate people who are at church on Mother’s Day.

How is protesting at the SC Justices homes going to help? They are following the Constitution. All you’re going to do is scare them and their families. Not cool.
