The decades-long goal of the anti-choice movement to gut and overturn Roe v. Wade has never been closer to reality. Conservative justices have used smokescreens to hide their positions on women’s rights, without a single one admitting their position openly.

We have to learn as much as we can about Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s record and motivations.
