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.

I should not be surprised that these women have no idea that easy access to abortion devalues women. It also makes sure that the very men who at one time may have done the right thing also devalue these women and regard them and any potential offspring as easily discarded. Yet these women no doubt rail against women being treated as sex objects. But when you always separate the act of sex from reproduction you are consenting to be a sex object.
Man the Onion couldn’t write this stuff any better.
Oh they are a kind of smart.
They are trying to pass off their personal political worldview as some kind of valid legal position.
If it truly is a needed “medical procedure” then why in the world would anyone be against having admitting rights to a hospital? And why not just do it?
Who wants to live in the same nation as these Satanic freaks? I don’t.
She can’t be demonized. She already is demon possessed.
