BREAKING: Senate Republicans just confirmed Trump judicial nominee Sarah Pitlyk, who opposes not only abortion but also surrogacy and even fertility treatment.
Every Democrat present voted in opposition, as did Susan Collins. But it wasn't enough. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Pitlyk was rated "Not Qualified" by the ABA; she has never even tried a case. But she will now serve as a trial judge in Missouri.
Missouri is trying to shut down its lone remaining abortion clinic. Pitlyk could soon let that happen. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Pitlyk has said that:
•Surrogacy leads to "diminished respect for motherhood and the unique mother-child bond."
•Frozen embryos should be recognized as human beings under the law—she called them “children” who are “killed” when embryos are destroyed.

Given that Pitlyk is egregiously unqualified, why was she elevated to the federal bench?
Simple: She's a member of the Federalist Society who opposes reproductive rights, supported Brett Kavanaugh, and dismissed Christine Blasey Ford as a liar. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Under Leonard Leo's guidance, the White House now hands out federal judgeships to Federalist Society stalwarts as a reward for their loyalty. It simply doesn't matter if they think women who undergo fertility treatment are helping to murder children. slate.com/news-and-polit…
