Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, criticized liberal attacks of the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade on “Sunday Night in America.”
As liberals and Democrat lawmakers warn that overturning Roe v. Wade could be removing a woman’s right to an abortion, Lee responded that the right to an abortion is not identified in the U.S. Constitution."A right is something the government can’t do to you. There is nothing in the Constitution that identifies abortion as something that’s protected by the U.S.
"That’s a different provision of the Constitution. That’s the equal protection clause. That’s something that prohibits the states from discriminating on the basis of race. It’s a totally different issue than we are discussing here. Nothing does that with regards to abortion," Lee said.He later criticized liberals for suggesting that the draft opinion could"overthrow democracy," insisting that the opposite is true.
"It’s a huge deal because the whole point of all these procedures the court has, the whole reason why the court maintains such confidentiality restrictions is because the court has exactly one opportunity at the end of each case to render a decision, and it wants to make sure by the time it releases that to the public, the nine justices knows where everyone on the court stands," Lee said.
