because sexual assault is just wrong . .

In other words, they believe Dr. Ford as majority of Americans do.

Also, they know the FBI so called investigation is a sham.

Legacy and Royalty damage America; appointed by her Daddy who became Governor and gave her "his" senate seat. Time to return Alaska to Democracy.

yea, sure he won't

How stupid are you both, of course he is going to overturn Roe, what other way to discredit and demean women, but Kava not and tRump come from the same cloth.

It's an important issue our society, but the Republicans need Roe to stand as a Red Herring to fire up the evangelical base every election. If it was overturned, then what? Same-sex marriage is a non-issue now. They really want Kavanaugh regarding many other issues to keep them in power.

Too bad you will never be able to find one. Expect more fetal heartbeat and fetal pain non scientific based legislation, bizarre ever changing facility and provider regulations, reporting requirements and costly certifications, etc.

Wealthy females and their daughters will continue to be able to have abortions outside of the US. as will mistresses and fuck buddies of wealthy conservative "family values" males. The less wealthy are on their own with no prenatal nor maternity care required to be provided by for-profit GOP approved affordable insurance plans that no longer have much to do with health. And don't even think about government subsidized housing, education, or nutrition for these infants of God. The wealthy will still need more tax cuts (at least those of the wealthy that do not practice tax evasion).

when he does vote to strike down Roe, or essentially make abortion illegal in all but the most extreme circumstances, will she renounce the GOP and caucus with the Democrats?
