Kavanaugh Conflates Birth Control with Abortion
-----------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, women's rights groups are blasting Kavanaugh's statement
Thursday conflating contraception with abortion. NARAL Pro-Choice
America tweeted, "Kavanaugh just referred to birth control as
'abortion-inducing drugs,' which is not only an anti-science lie, it's
an anti-choice extremist phrase that shows that our right to access both
abortion and contraception would be in SERIOUS danger if he is
confirmed." We'll have more on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the U.S.
Supreme Court later in the broadcast.
