The #StopKavanaugh movement is misguided because feminists lie to themselves

Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing to be the next Supreme Court justice began with a crowd of angsty women, dressed as victims from The Handmaid’s Tale. Concerned feminists who oppose Kavanaugh regularly interrupted Kavanaugh’s hearing with shrieks and hollering. Why? They oppose Kavanaugh’s confirmation because they assume he will overturn Roe v. Wade.

Even as Kavanaugh remains in a contentious hearing, though he’ll likely be confirmed, feminists are counterproductive. Abortions have declined because of what the movement has done to itself, not because of an originalist like Kavanaugh being nominated to the Supreme Court. On the other hand, in some parts of the country, abortion is still being spearheaded as a right.
