Elizabeth Warren on Abortion
|
No Supreme Court nominees who oppose legal abortion
Warren tried to portray Brown as unreliable on women's issues. Warren said she would not vote to support a U.S. Supreme Court nominee who opposes legal abortion. She criticized Brown for opposing the nomination of Elena Kagan to the court.
Brown described himself as "pro-choice" and said he opposed Kagan because she didn't have enough courtroom experience for the high court. "Sorry I didn't vote for your boss," Brown said, referring to Kagan's tenure as dean of Harvard Law School.
Warren pointed to a Brown vote in favor of a proposed amendment that would allow employers to deny insurance coverage for birth control.
Brown said he supports women's access to birth control but was trying to protect the concerns of Roman Catholics.
