Los Angeles Times: “Four of the five Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe vs. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed abortion rights nationwide, are men. When the Senate confirmed the justices, 91% of the yes votes came from men.”
“Four of the justices were nominated by presidents who had gained the White House despite losing the popular vote: Donald Trump and George W. Bush, who lost the popular vote in 2000 then was reelected in 2004 with 50.7%. The decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade is politically unpopular, with about 60% of Americans consistently opposing that move. And public opinion of the court itself is declining.”
“In the Senate hearings for the five justices, 71% of the votes cast by women were against confirmation; 42% of male senators’ votes were against.”
