Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh appeared to signal an openness to overturning the longstanding precedent established in 1973’s landmark Roe v. Wade on Wednesday as he questioned counsel.
Kavanaugh cited a number of high-profile Court decisions as the justices heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and his comments appeared to depart from remarks he reportedly made about Roe during his confirmation process in 2018.
