Several protesters have been arrested outside the Supreme Court, as justices are scheduled to hear arguments in a case over the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.
A group of 13 people were arrested after reportedly blocking a roadway and receiving a warning from U.S. Capitol Police, according to ABC News.
The group “has been moving around Capitol Grounds – illegally blocking roads and then a walkway. Our officers warned the group to stop blocking the walkway or they would be arrested. They refused, so our officers arrested them,” Capitol Police told the outlet.

The Washington Examiner has reached out to Capitol Police for comment.
The case before the Supreme Court on Tuesday is expected to have a significant impact on abortion access ahead of the November election, with a decision expected by the high court by June.
