Kavanaugh Hearings: Dems Tell Judge Abortion Rights, Preexisting Conditions Top Their Concerns
Executive Summary
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee told Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on the first day of confirmation hearings Tuesday they will question his rulings on abortion and women’s reproductive rights, and on retaining federal insurance coverage for people with preexisting conditions under Obamacare. As the potential conservative swing vote on the high court, Kavanaugh’s decisions can impact sales of contraceptive devices and medtech to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes and an array of other preexisting conditions.
