(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Leftist reactions to the overturn of Roe v. Wade have started pouring out, with some politicians and government organizations vowing to disregard the overturn.
Politicians such as Maxine Waters, D-CA, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have come out and pushed for public insurrection, The Daily Wire reported.
“You see this crowd out here, you ain’t seen nothing yet,” said Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif, addressing a crowd outside of the Supreme Court. “Women are going to control their bodies no matter how they try and stop us. The hell with the Supreme Court. We will defy them.”

Protests have also erupted across the country, with a protest in Phoenix, Arizona, growing vitriolic enough for the authorities to use tear gas.
Video taken by Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale, showed protesters blockading the door to city hall and attempting to enter the building:

Leftists have threatened violence against the Supreme Court justices as well, with many of them inciting others to go to the justice’s personal residences—may of which were made public when the opinion was leaked—and threatening torture, murder or intimidation.
