Critics Rip Sen. Susan Collins On How Wrong She Was About Kavanaugh On Abortion Rights
HuffPost
The Maine Republican claimed Kavanaugh told her Roe v. Wade was "settled law." Doesn't look that way today.
Critics on Twitter are piling on Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) over her past strident defense of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh against what she seemed to characterize as a preposterous idea that he would overturn or undermine Roe v. Wade. Now the conservatives on the high court have voted 5-4 to not take any immediate action to block the most restrictive and intimidating anti-abortion law in the nation, which just went into effect in Texas. The new law criminalizes all abortions — even in cases of rape or incest — after six weeks of pregnancy, before many individuals would know they’re pregnant. In effect, the law bans abortions for most women who can’t afford to travel to another state have access to the procedure elsewhere.More Related News
