Brett Kavanaugh addressed Roe v. Wade in speech last year
Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s nominee to succeed Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, gave a speech last year in which he seemed to applaud former Chief Justice William Rehnquist for dissenting in Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion nationwide.
The comments, first reported by The Los Angeles Times, may be among one of the few times Kavanaugh has publicly commented on abortion rights, one of the most contentious issues surrounding his confirmation to the high court.
