Protests in front of SCOTUS after Dobbs
Crowds gather outside the U.S. Supreme Court on 24 June 2022, the day the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling overturned Roe v. Wade. In the foreground a marcher carries a heart-shaped Live Action sign reading "Love them both". The slogan names a value, care for woman and fetus alike, in place of a specific policy claim, the same construction as Kansas's "Value Them Both" amendment that summer.
A photograph by John Brighenti taken on 24 June 2022 outside the U.S. Supreme Court, the day of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling, showing demonstrators. In the foreground a marcher carries a heart-shaped Live Action sign reading "Love them both". The sign supports an anti-abortion position and appeals to the public. It names a value, care for woman and fetus alike, instead of a specific policy claim, which is a glittering generality.

LOVE THEM BOTH LIVE ACTION
A red sign held further back in the crowd (left of frame, partly reading 'AMERICANS FOR...') is too small and out of focus to read and is not transcribed.
