Recuse yourself! Conservatives freak out after Ruth Bader Ginsburg slams Texas abortion law
Conservatives are demanding that Ruth Bader Ginsburg should recuse herself from hearing abortion cases on the U.S. Supreme Court after she made remarks about a restrictive Texas law.
The Supreme Court justice said in a lengthy interview with The New Republic that the overturning of the Roe v. Wade decision would be a “worst-case” scenario – particularly for non-affluent women.
“Any woman who has the wherewithal to travel, to take a plane, to take a train to a state that provides access to abortion — that woman will never have a problem,” Ginsburg said. “It doesn’t matter what Congress or the state legislatures do, there will be other states that provide this facility, and women will have access to it if they can pay for it. Women who can’t pay are the only women who would be affected.”
Conservatives were most upset when she said state legislatures and courts could not be trusted to ensure poor women had access to reproductive health services.
