FRC Asks: Can We Outlaw Roe v. Wade In Five Years? [View all]

Yet another anti-choice group is explicitly expressing its hope that if President Trump has the opportunity to nominate another Supreme Court justice, the court will overturn Roe v. Wade.

In a fundraising email today with the subject line “Can we outlaw Roe v. Wade in five years?” Family Research Council executive vice president Jerry Boykin asks for contributions to FRC Action, the FRC’s political arm, to help the group in the next Supreme Court fight with the hope of overturning Roe before its 50th anniversary in 2023.

“Last year, we took a major step toward accomplishing that mission by helping to lead the nationwide push to nominate and confirm pro-life Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court,” Boykin writes. If they can get another justice like Gorsuch on the court, he says, “we can finally overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion in America once and for all!”

This is fucking scary. This is outright fascism.
