she said she believes K will not overturn RvW (ie she’s bolstering her vote for him)

Collins reaffirmed her belief—despite the massive enthusiasm social conservatives have for Kavanaugh—that Roe v. Wade would remain intact: “I do not believe that he’s going to repeal Roe v. Wade,” but Collins said that she was still undecided on him. “How could I decide before hearing the testimony of professor Ford?” Collins said she was “close, very close, but I’m not all the way there, and professor Ford deserves to be heard.”

While Collins has bucked the Republican majority occasionally (she was one of the three Republican votes that doomed Obamacare’s repeal), she has tended to be supportive of Supreme Court nominations from Democrats and Republicans during her time in the Senate. And while she has praised Kavanaugh, she has also sided with the Republicans most insistent on Christine Ford getting a hearing before the Senate. So we’ll have to wait at least a few more days to find out which way she’ll vote—if she has to at all.

She just said I don’t think the Judge will over-turn Roe vs. Wade.
