Ms. Magazine blog quotes Professor Drew on record on women's issues of Judge Neil Gorsuch, since confirmed to Supreme Court

Professor Margaret Drew commented in a Ms. Magazine blog story about the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. She expressed concern about the potential impact of Judge Gorsuch's restrictive views on reproductive rights.

“Gorsuch’s insistence that the case [about Planned Parenthood funding] be heard en banc, even after his colleagues voted against that request, is concerning, as it seems that the trigger issue for him may be women’s reproductive rights generally, and not only when paired with a religious freedom argument,” Drew told Ms. Magazine.
