Let me be clear — it is not in the best interest of justice to prosecute people for their healthcare decisions, including abortion.
Not now, not ever.

In Amy Coney Barrett’s America, women will be prosecuted for abortions, Americans will be stripped of healthcare coverage, we cannot marry who we love, and unions will be gutted. While I respect her record on teaching, she is unfit to fill the seat of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Make no mistake about it: Judge Amy Coney Barrett is an extremist pick. Her record on reproductive rights, coverage for preexisting conditions, LGBTQ+ rights, and the dignity of work is abysmal.

We can’t let her win.

The Supreme Court may soon greenlight Arizona's anti-abortion laws, and the county attorney of the state's largest county has already said she would prosecute cases. But a special election looms later this year, and a challenger has vowed to never do so.

Sexual orientation and gender identity is not a “preference” and anyone who thinks so shouldn’t be anywhere close to power.
"Sexual preference," a term used by Justice Barrett, is offensive and outdated. The term implies sexuality is a choice. It is not. News organizations should not repeat Justice Barrett's words without providing that important context.
