Kirsten Gillibrand Compares Pro-Life Beliefs to Racism:
"Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand compared opposition to abortion to racism in a new interview and said
justices who hold either view should never be nominated to the courts.
Gillibrand, a U.S. senator from New York, was answering a question from the Des Moines Register about her pledge to nominate only judges who consider the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision “settled precedent.” The newspaper asked if such a promise encroached on a judge’s judicial independence.
“I think there's some issues that have such moral clarity that we have as a society decided that the other side is not acceptable,” Gillibrand said. “Imagine saying that it's okay to appoint a judge who's racist or anti-semitic or homophobic. I don't think those are political issues anymore.”
