Stop SCOTUS, Save Roe!: The Senate Must Refuse Nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh Statement by NOW President Toni Van Pelt 07.10.2018
By naming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, Donald Trump has set the table for a vote on repealing Roe v. Wade. That was the promise Trump made during the presidential campaign. In his final debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump said the Supreme Court would automatically overturn Roe once he became president, because I am putting pro-life judges on the Court.
Trump outsourced his Supreme Court nomination screening process to the radical Federalist Society, a group started during the Reagan era to move U.S. courts to the right. Its leader, right-wing activist Leonard Leo, has called abortion a threat to human life, and conservative activist Ed Whelan has said, No one has been more dedicated to the enterprise of building a Supreme Court that will overturn Roe v. Wade than the Federalist Societys Leonard Leo.
Now, Leo, the Federalist Society and the network of anti-abortion extremists, billionaires and committees have gotten their wish. After pushing Neil Gorsuch to the top of the pile last year, they are gearing up for a repeat performance now.
We cant let them succeed. Mitch McConnell stole a Supreme Court seat by refusing to consider Barack Obamas nominee, Merrick Garland, and now Senate Republicans are at it again. We are on the threshold of the most consequential Congressional elections in modern times. Voters are going to the polls to express their views on who should be setting the agenda in Congress and whose values should be reflected on the bench. We call on the Senate to refuse to take up this nomination until the people they represent have voiced their opinions. Contact

Funny, I haven’t heard a WORD from these idiots about female genital mutilation, female “honor killings”, women sold into sexual slavery or the epidemic of rapes in India. Exactly what part of women’s lives do they purport to protect?

My was/is a great RN. Her pediatric training was
At a top hospital/medical school.
She learned how professionals handle terrible two’s, who hold their breath until they fall onto the floor.
She just ignored them, including our sons, nephews, nieces and others.
After a couple of non successful breath holding, the terrible two’s gave up on that losing poa!
