I’ll be the first to say I was wrong.

Now what does he do if asked about Roe Wade?

I discussed this with an associate and it starts with a new court challenge, probably in the lower courts that call for a re-examination and per his input may strip away the wide open model and turn it back to Rape, Incest and health of the mother as exceptions. This would mean that say in rape or incest, a criminal action would be needed with a affidavit of the action and perpetrator to the authorities to get permission. In the same vein a doctors certified statement of need based on sound medical practice would then allow for that exception. As a means of birth control, that would go away

If asked he cannot say he would vote one way or the other but the precedent at this time before the court is that it is legal, hence the actions as described above as a mechanism to force review by the SCOTUS

Personally, I want it gone but I do see some need as in the medical where a limited application may be allowed. In the others I will leave it to the court, as violent rapes by Illegals are a common item and I have unfortunately been faced with the Incest question in my own family involving my Stepfather and my sister, she did have an abortion and even that scarred her psyche for life as well as the reason for it.

During the confirmation hearings, he’s not required to answer what-if questions in detail about every kind of hypothetical, fictional situation. So he’ll simply say something to the effect that he believes in following precedents, that there are too many possibilities in cases to allow speculation in advance, etc. He was confirmed for a lower court against higher odds before, and others have given similar answers.

Kavanaugh has *not* said that he would overturn Roe v. Wade or decided against allowing any abortion. He has only written opinions against taxpayers paying for some abortions in particular cases.

[Time to neutralize some of the noise on that issue for now, yes? We’re on the same page. ;-) ]
