The View co-host Joy Behar cheered on the protestors who rallied outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's home.
On Monday night more than 100 people gathered outside Justice Samuel Alito's home in Virginia after a leaked draft opinion written by the Justice suggested a majority of conservatives on the court are prepared to end the constitutional right to an abortion.
Demonstrators marched up and down his street in Alexandria, lit candles and shouted slogans like 'Alito is a coward', and 'our bodies, our choice'.
During a segment on The View on Tuesday the panel of hosts discussed the implications of the protests, with Behar firmly backing the protestors.
'But it also shows Alito what it feels like to lose your freedom of choice,' Behar said. 'He cannot leave the house easily, so maybe that's a good lesson for them'

Former Trump White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin said that while the first amendment gives Americans the right to peacefully assemble, taking protests to the lawns of Justices might be crossing the line.
'I will say this, I think the more appropriate have been you is the steps of the Supreme Court. I worry it could begin to look like intimidation at someone's doorsteps,' Griffin said.
But co-host Whoopi Goldberg was not impressed and said what Griffin said was 'so funny' and added she believes the protests were okay because conservative Justice's were intimidating women by trying to overturn Roe v. Wade.
'So does what Alito wrote. Looks the same way to me,' she said. 'It looks like intimidation. And yeah, it's kind of the same thing.'
Co-host Joy Behar chimed in saying Alito is getting a taste of his own medicine.
'But it also shows Alito what it feels like to lose your freedom of choice,' Behar said. 'He cannot leave the house easily, so maybe that's a good lesson for them.'
Many of those gathered held candles and also signs with pointed questions in order to make themselves heard
