You want to know what the Kavanaugh hearings did for me? When they ignored the fact that their candidate had ruled in favor of forcing women with disabilities to have abortions? Sure. Let's call it radicalization.
During the Kavanaugh hearings, I worked for an organization that takes positions on judicial nominees based on their prior decisions. I now work for an organization that broke decades of precedent to oppose the Kavanaugh nomination because of his disability jurisprudence.
Liz Weintraub, @Tuesdaywithliz, was the first openly disabled person to testify in #SCOTUS confirmation hearings and her testimony was incredibly powerful: c-span.org/video/?c474813…
"Judge Kavanaugh took away the civil rights that the disabled women who brought that case were fighting for. Our country is founded on liberty and justice for all and All means All!"
So I am radicalized if that is what you want to call it. I would prefer to simply say that I am a disabled advocate who reads and cares about who are the justices making decisions about my life. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
