Over 350 lawyers, legal professionals who had abortions file brief in landmark Supreme Court case

More than 350 lawyers and legal professionals who had abortions filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court Monday as part of the latest landmark abortion case.

"My hope is that my classmate on the Supreme Court will not want to demonize me," Claudia Hammerman, a partner at the prestigious law firm Paul, Weiss, told ABC News. Hammerman is also the lead signer of the brief and a Harvard Law School alumnae. "I was smart and I deserved my career and I deserved to be able to give it my all and to become a mother when I was fully, emotionally, psychologically, and in terms of resources prepared to become the best mother I could be."

The legal professionals included attorneys, law professors, public defenders, prosecutors, retired judges, current law students and a senior attorney with the Department of Justice, who joined the brief anonymously and "on behalf of herself and all the other lawyers working in the highest echelons of government who have had abortions." Two MacArthur "Genius" Fellows are also among those who signed on.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in June Medical Services vs. Gee, an abortion case out of Louisiana, on March 4, 2020. In question is a Louisiana law that requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges with a nearby hospital. A similar law, out of Texas, was struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional in 2016.

Amicus -- or "friends of the court" -- briefs are filed on behalf of people who are not formally part of a case but who support one side. On Monday, several briefs were filed in the June Medical Services case urging the Supreme Court to strike down the law.

Lady and I use that word loosely, You hired a hit man to kill your baby and you don't want to be demonized? Sit down and shut up while the rest of us stop this evil.

Oh if only medical science knew the cause of motherhood.

You weren’t smart enough to abstain from sex until you were emotionally, psychologically, and in terms of resources prepared to become the best mother you could be?

The cause of real motherhood is a deep mystery. The cause of pregnancy, however, is very well known.

In many cases it’s alcohol in the water.

We are told that women are professionals to be treated as equals in the workplace. We are especially told this by lawyers.

Now the women lawyers want to inject their personal circumstances into the law, the judiciary and the government. In other words, have it both ways.

Appalling weakness of character.

Safe legal and rare is a damned lie.

Where are all of the women who had botched abortions at legal clinics clamoring for no requirements of hospital admitting privileges for such abortion clinics?

That is what this is about, not some Ivy League tart putting her own self ahead of her child.

“My hope is that my classmate on the Supreme Court will not want to demonize me,”

Is she trying to force one of the Justices to recuse himself?

Give up the baby and continue with school. No child in her life that way.

But what about her reputation?

Better to be a baby killer than known as sexually permissive.

Too bad for her son or daughter, and her other children (if she has any) who will never know their brother (or sister) because mommy killed him because she thought he would interfere with her pursuit of power.
