25. A Kavanaugh appointment would be a failure to women in this country

Sun Sep 23, 2018, 08:50 PM

Sep 2018

The man has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman and now that it appears there is another. He has produced no convincing rebuttal nor does he demand an investigation. He is most certainly guilty in my opinion and his smugness is only further evidence. How can such a person be placed in a position where his opinion could rob women of nearly 50 years of reproductive rights and self determination? He has already demonstrated that he cares little for women. Sexual assault and abuse robs the victim of something very precious, their agency. I am not a woman but I am a victim of sexual abuse and rape. This appointment cannot stand.
