Gillibrand: Pro-Life People Are Ineligible To Be Judges

One of our Facebook ░░░░░░░░ on Facebook asked about ░░░░░░░░ comparison between abortion and ░░░░░░░░ you ve seemed to ░░░░░░░░ recently that appointing a ░░░░░░░░ who opposes abortion rights ░░░░░░░░ akin to supporting judicial ░░░░░░░░ who hold racist views ░░░░░░░░ there s no moral ░░░░░░░░ sides of the abortion ░░░░░░░░ is that what you ░░░░░░░░ so what the point ░░░░░░░░ was making is that ░░░░░░░░ believe in settled precedent ░░░░░░░░ this country and we ░░░░░░░░ settled precedent to make ░░░░░░░░ we value everyone and ░░░░░░░░ don t discriminate based ░░░░░░░░ race gender and religious ░░░░░░░░ if you were a ░░░░░░░░ who wants to be ░░░░░░░░ justice and you believed ░░░░░░░░ you should up up ░░░░░░░░ and or reverse 40 ░░░░░░░░ of precedent on seeing ░░░░░░░░ as against the Constitution ░░░░░░░░ you don t support ░░░░░░░░ precedent that LGBT equality ░░░░░░░░ important that marriage equality ░░░░░░░░ a human right if ░░░░░░░░ look at roe v ░░░░░░░░ and say I don ░░░░░░░░ believe that women have ░░░░░░░░ constitutional right to privacy ░░░░░░░░ are up ending settled ░░░░░░░░ and more than that ░░░░░░░░ re up ending the ░░░░░░░░ social compact we have ░░░░░░░░ a country that we ░░░░░░░░ long long past decided ░░░░░░░░ a country that we ░░░░░░░░ t believe in sexism ░░░░░░░░ Homophobia over the last ░░░░░░░░ decades and I just ░░░░░░░░ that this is settled ░░░░░░░░ it is law of ░░░░░░░░ land and if you ░░░░░░░░ you as a presidential ░░░░░░░░ believe that you should ░░░░░░░░ law of the land ░░░░░░░░ s been there for ░░░░░░░░ years it is so ░░░░░░░░ to the American culture ░░░░░░░░ our views of the ░░░░░░░░ that it s going ░░░░░░░░ in a way that ░░░░░░░░ just don t think ░░░░░░░░ legitimate so it s ░░░░░░░░ issue of what kind ░░░░░░░░ judges and justices do ░░░░░░░░ appoint and to me ░░░░░░░░ someone at the forefront ░░░░░░░░ women s rights and ░░░░░░░░ question of do we ░░░░░░░░ women imagine a judge ░░░░░░░░ said you know I ░░░░░░░░ don t believe in ░░░░░░░░ pay for equal work ░░░░░░░░ really believe that the ░░░░░░░░ equity or gender equality ░░░░░░░░ don t believe that ░░░░░░░░ Americans have a right ░░░░░░░░ be treated equally I ░░░░░░░░ t believe that Muslims ░░░░░░░░ a right to be ░░░░░░░░ equally those are so ░░░░░░░░ to how we think ░░░░░░░░ the world that I ░░░░░░░░ I just am NOT ░░░░░░░░ point a judge or ░░░░░░░░ who doesn t believe ░░░░░░░░ deserve equality fair enough ░░░░░░░░ there s there s ░░░░░░░░ question of equality there ░░░░░░░░ a question of morality ░░░░░░░░ then there s a ░░░░░░░░ of law I mean ░░░░░░░░ reason we have some ░░░░░░░░ like civil disobedience because ░░░░░░░░ law doesn t always ░░░░░░░░ up with morality so ░░░░░░░░ question I think the ░░░░░░░░ was going for was ░░░░░░░░ is it fair to ░░░░░░░░ someone who does not ░░░░░░░░ in abortion under any ░░░░░░░░ is as equally more ░░░░░░░░ reprehensible as someone who ░░░░░░░░ racist views my statement ░░░░░░░░ nothing to do with ░░░░░░░░ personal views nothing it ░░░░░░░░ to do with settled ░░░░░░░░ and the question and ░░░░░░░░ answer was specific to ░░░░░░░░ kind of judges I ░░░░░░░░ appoint I don t ░░░░░░░░ it s legitimate to ░░░░░░░░ a judge who doesn ░░░░░░░░ believe in women s ░░░░░░░░ I don t because ░░░░░░░░ s settled precedent you ░░░░░░░░ have whatever religious view ░░░░░░░░ is the whole point ░░░░░░░░ our constitutional democracy we ░░░░░░░░ in the separation of ░░░░░░░░ and state we believe ░░░░░░░░ freedom of religion we ░░░░░░░░ in freedom of speech ░░░░░░░░ so you have those ░░░░░░░░ to have the your ░░░░░░░░ on how you see ░░░░░░░░ world whether it s ░░░░░░░░ s rights or gay ░░░░░░░░ or issues of race ░░░░░░░░ all of that you ░░░░░░░░ have you are entitled ░░░░░░░░ your views and your ░░░░░░░░ but when we talk ░░░░░░░░ settled precedent and we ░░░░░░░░ about law of the ░░░░░░░░ if your goal is ░░░░░░░░ up end 40 years ░░░░░░░░ precedent that women have ░░░░░░░░ on a right to ░░░░░░░░ for 40 years and ░░░░░░░░ all of a sudden ░░░░░░░░ yeah I don t ░░░░░░░░ believe in that you ░░░░░░░░ changing the social contract ░░░░░░░░ we have with women ░░░░░░░░ America you re changing ░░░░░░░░ you re saying you ░░░░░░░░ of America you don ░░░░░░░░ deserve bodily autonomy we ░░░░░░░░ force you to take ░░░░░░░░ president that pregnancy to ░░░░░░░░ even if it was ░░░░░░░░ from rape or incest ░░░░░░░░ if you will die ░░░░░░░░ childbirth we have the ░░░░░░░░ myth we have the ░░░░░░░░ maternal mortality rate in ░░░░░░░░ industrialized world I mean ░░░░░░░░ s shocking so you ░░░░░░░░ telling America s women ░░░░░░░░ don t have human ░░░░░░░░ you don t have ░░░░░░░░ rights you don t ░░░░░░░░ bodily autonomy and you ░░░░░░░░ t have agency over ░░░░░░░░ most important decision you ░░░░░░░░ make one out of ░░░░░░░░ women in America access ░░░░░░░░ services most of the ░░░░░░░░ who do our already ░░░░░░░░ s so you re ░░░░░░░░ a decision about can ░░░░░░░░ survive this pregnancy is ░░░░░░░░ a pregnancy that is ░░░░░░░░ for me to take ░░░░░░░░ term these are personal ░░░░░░░░ their healthcare decisions their ░░░░░░░░ decisions their moral decisions ░░░░░░░░ a woman has a ░░░░░░░░ to make all those ░░░░░░░░ and if you are ░░░░░░░░ me today that you ░░░░░░░░ in America don t ░░░░░░░░ that right I think ░░░░░░░░ re so backward looking ░░░░░░░░ you that those judges ░░░░░░░░ justices are not the ░░░░░░░░ of people we should ░░░░░░░░ appointing to backward looking foot
