Just one day ahead of the announcement of President Donald Trump‘s Supreme Court nominee, the head of a major pro-life organization demanded an assurance that the pick would uphold Roe v. Wade.

In a Sunday interview with Fox News, National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws President Ilyse Hogue told Dana Perino she wanted a guarantee that abortion rights would remain, expressing grave concerns the landmark case’s ruling would be flipped.

“We take the president at his word…he is certainly the first major party nominee who went on to be president to put a litmus test on Supreme Court justices and that was to actually overturn Roe v. Wade, so we believe him,” Hogue said. “He’s got a vice president who committed to throw Roe on the ash heap of history.”
