Judge Brett Kavanaugh stated during his confirmation hearing for a position on the Supreme Court Wednesday that he believes that key court decisions on abortion are “settled law.”
Kavanaugh cited Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, decisions that legalized abortion nationwide up until fetal viability, generally understood as up to 24 weeks, and allowed states to regulate abortion but prohibited them from placing an “undue burden” on women who seek an abortion.
