Activists have sent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) 3,000 coat hangers, referencing back-alley abortions, in their efforts to persuade her to vote against the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

The mail-ins accompany TV ads aimed at swaying the senator’s vote and pledges to fund her Senate opponent in 2020 if she votes to confirm Kavanaugh, The Associated Press reports.

The centrist Collins is seen as a critical swing vote in Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing and has said she wouldn’t vote to confirm a nominee who was hostile to Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that legalized abortions.

She said Kavanaugh during a meeting told her he considered the case to be established precedent. However, critics are concerned about a recently revealed email from 2003, from when Kavanaugh worked in the Bush administration, in which Kavanaugh said the Supreme Court “can always overrule its precedent.”

A Collins spokeswoman told the AP the email didn’t change the senator’s mind about what Kavanaugh had told her.

1. She does not care.

GOPers do not care about the USA's citizens except for the very wealthy. The rich can send their daughter/mistress elsewhere for an abortion.

2. Yup, Collins putting on her usual dog and pony show for the rubes that vote for her

She knows Kavanaugh will vote to overturn Roe. Everyone knows it.

3. Collins is no "Moderate"

Check her voting record, she’s as right-wing as the rest of the GOP.

4. We need to send them to Heitkamp and Manchin. nt

5. We all need to send Collins and Murkowski that email that says that Roe isn't settled law because

the SCOTUS can change it.
