jakeem Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Manu RajuVerified account@mkraju Asked Susan Collins if she's confident Kavanaugh would strike down new Alabama abortion law. "The Alabama law is a terrible law – it’s very extreme – it essentially bans all abortions. I can’t imagine that any justice could find that to be consistent with the previous precedence" 2 Link to post Share on other sites

jakeem Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Jennifer BenderyVerified account@jbendery Here we go: Senate voting to confirm Wendy Vitter to be a lifetime federal judge. She's said Planned Parenthood "kills over 150,000 females a year" + has urged people to tell their doctors to put materials in waiting rooms saying that abortion causes breast cancer. (Not true.) Lisa Murkowski, one of two pro-choice Republicans in the Senate, just voted yes on Vitter. The other pro-choice Republican in the Senate, Susan Collins, just voted NO on Vitter. DONE: Wendy Vitter confirmed, 52-45. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Board of Education decision, a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling outlawing segregation.

Well, I watch "60 Minutes." It happens more than you might think -- particularly in states such as Alabama. As I've said before, if I can't kill, the states shouldn't be able to do it, either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
