Thirteen protesters were arrested at the Supreme Court on Tuesday prior to the court hearing arguments about abortion pill restrictions. 

Capitol Police said the protesters were arrested for "illegally blocking roads and then a walkway," according to ABC News.

The officers also said that they warned the protesters to stop with the blocking but they didn't comply. 

As of now it isn't clear if the protesters were a part of a group. 

The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments for whether the Food and Drug Administration can make restrictions on the abortion pill Mifepristone.

Mifepristone is one of the most common pills to end a pregnancy.
