Then, as reporters and protestors watched, he took out pliers and attempted to break the key that went into the lock before throwing the key on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not letting my daughter\u2019s rights be taken away by this unelected, unaccountable Supreme Court,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FordFischer\/status\/1533822434440359936\">yelled<\/a> as he stood chained to the fence.<\/p>\n<p>Before his exhibition, the pro-abortion protestor <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FordFischer\/status\/1533831438403088384\">had tearfully explained<\/a> that he feared for his daughter\u2019s future ability to get an abortion, saying, \u201cI\u2019m just a dad, and I can\u2019t sit back while my daughter\u2019s rights are taken away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After several warnings, police arrested Reichstadter and took him to a holding area in the Supreme Court building, the activist told The Daily Wire in mid-June. He said they booked him, took mugshots, held him, and then transferred him to a central cell block.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stayed there overnight. I didn\u2019t know what was going to happen,\u201d he said outside the Supreme Court on Monday morning, where he was protesting with other members of the RiseUp4Abortion group.<\/p>\n<p>But to Reichstadter\u2019s surprise, the charges were dropped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the morning, they gave me a pre-hearing interview, and I was supposed to have a hearing with a judge at 9 o\u2019clock, then they sent me back in the cell, and by 12 o\u2019clock, they let me know that the charges had been dropped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked why the charges were dropped, the abortion activist suggested that D.C. authorities were doing \u201cdamage control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I was [at] the bottom of the Supreme Court, I heard the police talking. They said, \u2018oh, this has gone viral on Twitter already,\u2019 so maybe it was the public perception that it\u2019s not a good look for the mayor to be imprisoning a father fighting for his daughter\u2019s rights,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Reichstadter claimed D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was involved in getting the charges against him dropped, but her office did not respond to requests for comment from The Daily Wire. The Metropolitan Police Department told The Daily Wire that the Supreme Court police had handled the entire situation, and the Supreme Court police did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mary Margaret Olohan contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pro-abortion protester who was arrested earlier this month and had his charges dropped after he chained himself to a fence outside the Supreme Court building took his antics to another level Friday following the Supreme Court\u2019s overturning of Roe v.
