Pro-choice groups warn a Trump-appointed Supreme Court justice to replace Anthony Kennedy could mean reversal of the 1973 Roe -v- Wade decision legalizing abortion. Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life’s Scott Fishbach calls that “clearly rhetoric.” Fischbach says, “There are four solid justices who have said, we will not touch Roe — and that’s a pretty big block.”
Jen Auwles with Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North and South Dakota responds no one can predict what each of the justices would do on any particular abortion rights case. “The Trump administration has said that they will only appoint justices that will aim to overturn Roe -v- Wade, so I think we have every reason to be concerned,” she says.
