Cecile Richards on SCOTUS Vacancy: Voting Rights, Women’s Rights, LGBTQ Rights Are on the Line

‘That is what is on the mind of the American voters’

EXCERPT:

RICHARDS: “We know this Supreme Court, five days after the election, is going to hear the case that threatens to completely overturn the Affordable Care Act, something that Donald Trump has been trying to do his entire administration. The health care, health insurance coverage of 20 million people is at risk. That is what is on the mind of the American voters. And so I think to the question of who is motivated, it is women, it is young people, it is people of color who've seen this administration try to take away voting rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and realizes that this next appointment on the Supreme Court is going to mean something not just for the next administration but for decades to come.”
