Democrat senators backed by the pro-abortion movement blasted U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett as a threat to Roe v. Wade on Monday during her Senate confirmation hearing.
Planned Parenthood favorites Sens. Kamala Harris, of California, and Cory Booker, of New Jersey, especially tried to drum up fear by claiming women’s rights are at stake. And by women’s rights, they mean abortion on demand. Barrett believes in “the value of human life from conception to natural death.”
“People are scared right now … because they know what a future without the protections of Roe v. Wade looks like,” Booker said at the hearing. “Without Roe v. Wade, our country looks like people being denied the ability to make decisions about their own bodies, not just while they are pregnant but being stripped of the right to plan for their future.”
Barrett is President Donald Trump’s choice to fill the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an idol of abortion activists who died in September. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Barrett would solidify a strong 6-3 conservative majority on the high court.
Pro-life advocates hope and abortion activists fear that Barrett could lead to the undoing of Roe v. Wade and help restore protections for unborn babies.
