Amy Coney Barrett believes requiring health insurance to cover birth control is an “assault on religious liberty and the rights of conscience.”

With Barrett’s nomination, the Supreme Court could be pushed further right for decades to come. SCOTUS has never actually protected the most marginalized, but her appointment will make it easier for conservatives to destroy civil rights, abortion access, and equity.
As young people, we will be harmed by the Trump administration for decades. Trump has nominated 3 judges to the Supreme Court and over 200 lower federal courts. All of these are lifetime appointments.
