OAKLAND — California Sen. Dianne Feinstein warned that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, who is set to be announced Monday, “could eviscerate women’s freedoms for generations.’’
“The American people must know what’s at stake in this nomination ... because overturning Roe would take us back to the days of women being seriously injured and dying because they can’t get basic medical care,†said Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Friday. “We’ve come too far to go back to those days.â€
Feinstein, who appeared at an Oakland roundtable discussion held by California Planned Parenthood, acknowledged that with Republican control of the White House and Congress, the power of female voters may be “the only thing we have right now†in the effort to counter Trump’s next appointment to the Supreme Court.
