IA-SEN: Ernst: Very Unlikely New Supreme Court Overturns Roe V. Wade

en. Joni Ernst said on Monday during an hour-long debate for the U.S. Senate race that she did not think President Donald Trump’s newest Supreme Court nominee would overturn abortion rights.

The Republican’s proclamation that the reversal of Roe v. Wade is unlikely came after she announced her status as “adamantly pro-life” when moderator David Yepsen asked what each candidate would do if the court overturned the ruling which made abortion legal across the nation. Trump has said nominee Amy Coney Barrett could be part of a court decision to overturn that ruling.

“I think the likelihood of Roe v. Wade is very minimal. I don’t see that happening, truly I don’t see that happening, but what we can do is certainly educate the public on how important life is,” Ernst said at the Iowa PBS studios in Johnston.

“The views that are being taken by Theresa Greenfield and those that are backing her from the coasts—from California to New York, it’s inappropriate and not acceptable to Iowa voters.”

What a sorry excuse for a human being. The people of Iowa are hopeless if they put a MORON like her back in office for another term.

Trying to assure women that their abortion rights will not be reduced, and trying to reassure the radical right that they will.

"How much is 2+2, Joni?"

"I'm a Republican Senator who might not win re-election. How much do you want it to be?"
