Gillibrand: Women's Lives Will Be at Risk if Kavanaugh Is Confirmed
TOWN HALL ^ | July 17, 2018 | Cortney O'Brien

Posted on 07/17/2018 5:01:15 PM PDT by Morgana

The pushback against President Trump's latest Supreme Court nominee has reached peak outrage, specifically in the pro-abortion movement. Liberal lawmakers and activists are under the impression that Kavanaugh's presence on the bench will mean the end of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion. That was House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's impression. She said Kavanaugh could "put everything at risk" and a vote for him is a vote to "destroy" Roe v. Wade.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) was the latest Democrat to suggest this in a recent interview with Glamour magazine.

Gillibrand, who’s generated buzz as a possible 2020 White House contender, suggests Kavanaugh's nomination is a matter of life or death for women's rights—and possibly women themselves. She's convinced that, if Kavanaugh replaces retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, he'll work to undermine the protections of Roe v. Wade—potentially sending the clock spinning back to a time when American women secretly sought dangerous, illegal abortions.

The editors quoted author Barbara Ehrenreich's concern for women, which Gillibrand promptly agreed with.

From what I’ve heard, if R vs W is overturned and abortion goes to states, there are 22 states that will still carry on with abortions...It’s not like there will be none at all...

The liberals are just trying to blow smoke up rectums....

Let’s keep women from driving cars then, or riding horses, climbing mountains, etc.

Wrong if RVW is overturned (which it won’t Roberts will never do it) there is not one state that will outright ban first trimester abortion -bank it.

I thought they wanted to protect children and babies. Because, you know, Trump is keeping them in cages and all that.

I guess killing them in the womb doesn’t count.

The women in the womb are already at risk since they make up the majority of abortions.
