The Constitution protects liberty, rebuttal to Justice Brett Kavanaugh



Julie  Rikelman, attorney for Jackson Women's Health in response to Brett Kavanaugh suggesting the Constitution is "neutral" regarding abortion: 

"The Constitution provides a  guarantee of liberty.  The Court has interpreted that liberty to include the ability to make  decisions related to child --childbearing,  marriage, and family.  Women have an equal right to liberty under the Constitution, Your Honor, and if they're not able to make this decision, if states can take control of women's bodies and force them to endure months of pregnancy and childbirth, then they will never have equal status under the Constitution. "
