Some social media users frustrated with the recent leaked opinion from the Supreme Court regarding the potential overturn of Roe v. Wade have called for a Mother's Day Strike.

On Tuesday a leaked draft opinion showed the Supreme Court was preparing to strike down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that guarantees abortion rights.

Such a bombshell ruling could instantly make abortion illegal in at least 13 states with legal access to abortion varying widely across the country.

Following the leak, many people took to the streets to protest outside the Supreme Court in Washington. And now, multiple people on social media have called for a strike to begin on Mother's Day, May 8. Since the leak, a website has been set up to promote the strike and highlight reports related to the Roe v. Wade decision.
