RICHMOND, Virginia (LifeSiteNews) – Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has told Catholics that he will protect their civil right to worship, after pro-abortion activists threatened attacks on Catholic churches in response to the leaked Supreme Court opinion suggesting Roe v. Wade could be about to be overturned.
“The civil rights of Virginia’s worshipers will not be violated by any mobs,” Miyares wrote on social media Friday evening.
“In Virginia, the law reigns supreme and Catholic Virginians’ right to worship in peace will be protected,” added Miyares.

Miyares’ vow to protect Catholic Virginias’ right to worship comes after radical pro-abortion groups publicly stated their plan to storm Catholic churches during Mass starting this coming Sunday.
The most notable group, called “Ruth Sent Us,” named after the former pro-abortion Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, took to Twitter last Tuesday to encourage people across the U.S. to storm their local parish starting on Sunday, May 8 – which is Mother’s Day in the U.S. – as a way to protest a possible overturning of Roe v. Wade by six Supreme Court justices, as was revealed in a leak last Monday.
The protests are anticipated to last all week, from May 8 through 14.
SIGN this petition urging the Chief Justice and all the Associate Justices to PUBLISH the decision to overturn Roe now!
Don't allow pro-abortion leftists to pressure Supreme Court justices to change their vote to overturn Roe!
According to an initial leaked draft majority opinion allegedly written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by Politico, the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to overturn its nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade decision, which imposed abortion on demand across the country.
As reported by Politico, the opinion is “a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision."
Of course, if this decision holds, this would be the best news in decades, thanks be to God!
However, leftists in Washington and in the media will stop at nothing to prevent Roe from being overturned.
But, intimidation and threats cannot be permitted to influence the Court, especially on this most fundamental human rights ruling.
That's why - right now - it's essential to urge the High Court to PUBLISH the ruling which overturns Roe.
SIGN this petition urging the Chief Justice and all the Associate Justices to PUBLISH the decision to overturn Roe now!
The leak of a drafted opinion is unprecedented in Supreme Court history and is sending shockwaves through the legal world.
Rumors are swirling about who could've leaked this seminal ruling, and what Chief Justice Roberts and the FBI will do about it.
But, this is a distraction from the real news which is that the Supreme Court is on the verge of righting one of the worst legal decisions ever made in the United States.
Over 60 million babies have been killed in the U.S. since the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, a colossal evil that has been allowed to stand for too long.
That's why we need to tell the Members of the U.S. Supreme Court to stand strong and PUBLISH THE RULING NOW!
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition.

“Whether you’re a ‘Catholic for Choice’, ex-Catholic, of other or no faith, recognize that six extremist Catholics set out to overturn Roe,” the group tweeted. “Stand at or in a local Catholic Church Sunday May 8.”
The tweet was accompanied by a video showing members of the group dressed in Handmaid’s Tale costumes and disrupting a Mass in a Catholic church by shouting a pro-abortion chant, demanding “abortion on demand and without apology!”
The same group also published the locations of six pro-life Supreme Court justices’ home addresses on their website last week, encouraging members to attend protests at their private residences.
Acts of violence and vandalism have also multiplied across the U.S. since the leak. On Tuesday, a violent and vulgar protest by pro-abortion activists in Los Angeles resulted in at least one police officer being injured and parts of city being vandalized with obscene graffiti.
The next day, a Catholic church in Boulder, Colorado, was vandalized with pro-abortion graffiti.
