Link to the Show / Show NotesReacting to the second day of the confirmation hearings for Judge Roberts, Nancy Northup provides her insight on what Roberts has said so far aboutRoe v. Wadeand the right to privacy.
According to Nancy Northup, "The very lead off question this morning was onRoe v. Wadeand the right to privacy. It shows how high the stakes are for women's reproductive freedom with this Supreme Court nomination.
"Unfortunately, we don't know any more today than we did yesterday about where Judge Roberts stands on whether or not the Constitution protects women's right to make their own private reproductive decisions. Judge Roberts has not answered questions about it and has drawn a large moat around talking about the scope of the right to privacy.
"It is imperative that Judge Roberts be forthcoming and share his views on the right to privacy. Otherwise, the senators are going to have to vote blind at this critical time for the Supreme Court."
