Women’s Group Demands Senate Democrats Unite in Opposition to Kavanaugh’s Nomination
UltraViolet: “If Democrats Cannot Find the Courage to Oppose Kavanaugh’s Nomination, Why Should Voters Trust Them?”
WASHINGTON, DC — This afternoon, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced that confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are set to begin September 4th.
In response, Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet, a national women’s group, released the following statement:
“With news that the Senate will begin confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in early September, the time is now for Democrats to unite and oppose his nomination. Any Senator who votes for Kavanaugh is voting to overturn Roe v. Wade, criminalize abortion, punish millions of women and cement the worst policies of the Trump Administration into law for a lifetime. A vote for Kavanaugh is a vote against women and against the rights and freedoms of millions of Americans.
“If Democrats cannot find the courage to oppose Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, why should voters trust them this November?”
