    Let’s be clear: when the Trump-Pence Administration tells you not to worry about your constitutionally protected health care rights, you should get worried. If you care about a woman’s right to control her own body in our country, now is the time to make your voice heard.

  2. President Trump is cruelly misguided if he thinks the problem here is that his Administration can't detain children long enough.

  3. Families do not want to go back to the time when they couldn’t get the care they need, when insurers could discriminate against pre-existing conditions, and when insurance companies have all the power. That’s why they are speaking out against Judge Kavanaugh.

  4. At a time when the vast majority of Americans are asking for common sense safety measures, we cannot overlook Judge Kavanaugh’s troubling record on guns. Keep making your voices heard to stop this nomination.

  5. ICYMI: asked Judge Kavanaugh if he could name any laws that the government has power to make over the male body. He couldn’t.

  6. We will not be silent. We will keep sharing our stories. We will keep fighting to . If you have a story about why Roe and women’s reproductive health and rights matter in our country, share it:

  7. We cannot forget that Judge Kavanaugh, in a 2009 law review article, suggested that a sitting president shouldn’t be subjected to criminal investigation or civil or criminal litigation.

  8. Make no mistake, in the Supreme Court fight, families’ health care and protections for people with pre-existing conditions are at stake. Families across the country know this isn’t a matter of partisan politics—it’s a matter of life and death.

  9. It’s no wonder the NRA immediately applauded this nomination. Judge Kavanaugh has taken a far more expansive interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, and has vigorously argued that assault weapon bans are unconstitutional.

  10. Judge Kavanaugh thinks he can fool women into thinking their rights and freedoms are safe. Roe is settled law only until someone like Judge Kavanaugh and four other ideological justices on the Supreme Court come along to overturn it.

  11. “What happens to those who cannot pay for their birth control, what happens to those who face an impossible choice between getting the health care they need and putting food on the table... If judge Kavanaugh is confirmed, access to affordable birth control will be in jeopardy.”

  12. Alicia is a pastor in Indiana who was denied access to contraception by a health insurance company because of its religious views. She was in the Senate to share her story & make her voice heard against Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation & his extreme views on women’s health & rights

  13. Judge Kavanaugh’s position is extreme and out of touch with the majority of Americans who’ve seen gun violence devastate their communities, from their schools and churches, to their shopping malls and concert venues.

  14. It was an honor to speak with Spokane, WA native and astronaut yesterday! Thank you for your service in the and for your commitment to exploring the ultimate frontier. Good luck on your launch into space on December 20!

  15. “If Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court, I fear that many women -- especially those who can least afford it -- will not get access to affordable birth control because of their employers religious beliefs.”

  16. Today is day 4 of Judge Kavanaugh’s hearing & we’ll hear from real people, w/ real stories who will be deeply impacted by his extreme views on women’s health & rights, health care, guns, executive power, & more if he is confirmed. Keep making your voices heard to

  17. A ruling, even one as important as Roe, is settled law and precedent only until someone like Judge Kavanaugh and four other ideological justices on the Supreme Court come along to overturn it.

    Undo
  18. We knew it before—but this new document absolutely confirms our biggest fears when it comes to Judge Kavanaugh’s views on women’s health and rights. Women everywhere should be very concerned.

    Undo
  19. Judge Kavanaugh personally highlighted that precedent can be overturned. And he was literally counting the number of Judges who stand ready to overturn Roe v. Wade.

    Undo
  20. Women’s rights, health, economic security, and lives are if Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court. We know that extreme Republicans and far-right groups are giving him the green light to overturn Roe v. Wade—but this country will not move backwards.

    Kavanaugh just referred to birth control as "abortion-inducing drugs," which is not only an anti-science lie, it's an anti-choice extremist phrase that shows that our right to access both abortion and contraception would be in SERIOUS danger if he is confirmed.
