Email Shows Kavanaugh’s Comments Yesterday About “Settled Law” and Precedent Were Nothing But A Show To Mislead The Senate And The American Public

After the New York Times released secret committee confidential emails from Brett Kavanaugh, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue released the following statement:
“Brett Kavanaugh’s emails are rock solid evidence that he has been hiding his true beliefs and if he is given a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, he will gut Roe v. Wade, criminalize abortion, and punish women. Everything he said yesterday in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about ‘settled law’ was nothing but a show to mislead the Senate, which he had to do to try to pass muster with American people who overwhelmingly support Roe. Now we know exactly why Republicans are hiding his records. Any senator who claims to care about women and our reproductive freedom should need no further evidence to publicly oppose this nomination. Because now no further proof is needed to know that a vote to confirm Kavanaugh is a vote to end Roe.”
