Sen. Kamala Harris slammed Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett as a threat to abortion Monday during a speech in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Harris, a pro-abortion Democrat who raided the home of undercover journalist David Daleiden after he exposed Planned Parenthood’s aborted baby body parts trade, told voters that abortion rights are at stake, WRAL News reports.
“They just want to jam this nomination through as fast as they can,” Harris said. “It’s called raw power.”
President Donald Trump named Barrett as his choice Saturday to fill the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an idol of abortion activists. The president and many others have praised Barrett as a “brilliant and gifted” lawyer.
If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Barrett would solidify a strong 6-3 conservative majority on the high court. Pro-life advocates hope and abortion activists fear that Barrett could help bring about the undoing of Roe v. Wade, which led to the deaths of 62 million unborn babies in abortions.
SIGN THE PETITION: Vote to Confirm Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett
Ginsburg supported abortion on demand during her nearly three decades on the Supreme Court, and Harris, a close ally of Planned Parenthood, wants another abortion activist to replace her.
