Susan Collins triggers outrage by claiming Kavanaugh's anti-abortion vote wasn't a threat to abortion rights

On Monday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) insisted that, while she supported the Supreme Court's decision to block abortion restrictions in Louisiana, Justice Brett Kavanaugh's dissent didn't mean he would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade — even though his desired ruling would have rendered it all but useless.


The new remarks from Collins, who cast one of the deciding votes to put Kavanaugh on the bench after lecturing reproductive rights activists they were overreacting, drew a fresh wave of outrage on social media.
