"preventing pregnancy" is now equal to abortion ?
and the slippery slope you are riding goes how far ...

by earlier definition there is no pregnancy (conception) until the egg is fertilized

she quoted his writing. His choice of words - his sentiments
as noted above in his writing he chose to use the words " abortion inducing" no one held a gun to his head (or, did they ?)

when given the opportunity to clarify he weaseled - himmed and hawed
Yet another (R) that needs a clean up crew

This man is a hack and unworthy of a lifetime appointment.

No she didn't. She quoted his words and conveniently chopped off the beginning of the sentence

He was summarizing the case that that's how the defendant saw it. This is so clear it's staggering you can't see it

This lady made a fool of herself. If that is the future of the democratic party - and it appears it based on how many people got duped by her - you guys are in a lot of trouble
 
Seriously - if you're interested in educating yourself at all, you can go back and read the case. http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2018/images/09/07/13-5368.pdf

The part you are referring to:

Fourth, this case is not one in which Plaintiffs’ “only harm . . . is that they sincerely feel aggrieved by their inability to prevent what other people would do to fulfill regulatory objectives after they opt out.” Slip Op. at 24. The regulations compel Plaintiffs to take actions they believe would amount to “impermissibly facilitating access to abortion-inducing products, contraceptives, and sterilization” in violation of their religious tenets.

It is so clear that he is summarizing their views - there are even quotes around the phrase. It truly baffles me why you want to double down on this. And somehow this makes him a hack? What does that make Harris and idiots like you who believer her?

goodness man. As detailed here in the Washington Post at the time, Hobby Lobby's objections were specifically aimed at "morning after" drugs that prevented the pregnancy from continuing after contraception. Kavanaugh's words were accurate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-the-hobby-lobby-case/?utm_term=.b69a5e8b0861

And the issue is whether employers have to be forced to pay for them... not whether they should be illegal.

Whoa, whoa. No. First of all, I’m talking about—as was Kavanagh—Priests for Life, not Hobby Lobby.

The relevant quote being:

“That was a group that was being forced to provide certain kind of health coverage over their religious objection to their employees,” Kavanaugh said at the hearing. “And under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the question was first ‘was this a substantial burden on the religious exercise,’ and it seemed to me quite clearly it was. It was a technical matter of filling out a form, in that case filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of the abortion-inducing drugs that they were as a religious matter objecting to.”

Nothing out of context there. No misleading quotes. No “they said.” Just his own words. And you’re still playing a rhetorical game about birth control methods vs. termination of a pregnancy.
 
...the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.

Yes. Even though I sometimes like the outcomes on certain cases, it always concerns me that matters that should be worked out in the political arena are being decided by nine men and women in black robes. Not that there is anything wrong with wearing black robes.
 
not at all a good look:

She’s going to have her head handed to her if she testifies.

I hope she’s up to the challenge.

The GOP will stop at nothing to get Kavanaugh confirmed.

Nothing.
