Trump Judge who endorsed theory that abortion causes cancer confirmed by senate

Vitter, who has been general counsel for the Archdiocese of New Orleans since 2012, seemingly believes that abortion causes breast cancer. At a conference in 2013, Vitter referred to a brochure that linked abortions to breast cancer, and told the audience, “Go to Dr. Angela’s Web site, Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, download it, and, at your next physical, you walk into your pro-life doctor and say, ‘Have you thought about putting these facts or this brochure in your waiting room?’

Each one of you can be the pro-life advocate to take that next step. That’s what you do with it.”

That same brochure that Vitter appeared to endorse claimed that taking birth control can lead to cervical and liver cancers, and “violent death,” because “women who take oral contraceptives prefer men with similar DNA, and that women in these partnerships have fewer sexual relations, leading to more adultery, and ‘understandably . . . violence.’”

Separately, Vitter appeared at an anti-Planned Parenthood rally, where she accused the group of “kill[ing] over 150,000 females a year.”

Naturally, she left these activities off her disclosure form to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Who better to give a lifetime partisan GOP judicial appointment to?

She is married to former U.S. Senator David Vitter, with whom she has four children. The Vitters reside in Metairie, Louisiana.
Vitter predicted in 2000 that she would act more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary Clinton, if her husband strayed, saying, "If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."
However, in 2007, Vitter stood by her husband and publicly stated her support for him after he admitted to, and apologized for, involvement with an escort service.

I can’t believe the USA wants to jail Doctors. Pregnancy is not always easy or happy.
It’s complicated.
