Yesterday I asked Judge Kavanaugh about his dissent in Garza v. Hargan. This case involved a 17-year-old young woman who sought an abortion in Texas while in immigration custody. She took every step required by law to move forward with her decision.
Instead of respecting her decision and acknowledging the hoops that she had jumped through, Judge Kavanaugh called it an “abortion-on-demand” and would have allowed the government to further delay her ability to access an abortion.
This ruling highlights that if confirmed to the Supreme Court, Judge Kavanaugh will undoubtedly erode women’s constitutional rights.
