In his pro-abortion speech, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) directly addressed Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh telling them “you will pay the price.”

“You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” the congressman shouted amidst the roaring crowd.

Schumer continued, “Now, we stand here today because behind me, inside the walls of this court, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments, as you know, for the first major abortion right cases since [Justice] Kavanaugh and [Justice] Gorsuch came to the bench. We know what’s at stake. Over the last three years, women’s reproductive rights have come under attack in a way we haven’t seen in modern history. From Louisiana to Missouri, to Texas, Republican legislatures are waging a war on women, all women, and they’re taking away fundamental rights. I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Watch:

The case in question is the June Medical Services v. Russo, which tackles the constitutionality of a 2014 Louisiana law. Based on the given law, doctors who perform abortions are required to obtain privileges at a hospital not more than 30 miles of their clinic. The law hindered some doctors to perform abortions since most of them do not have the credentials mandated by the law. Critics claimed that the government policy threatens to shut down all except one abortion clinic in the State of Lousiana.

To counter this, Democratic state senator Katrina Jackson first introduced The Unsafe Abortion Protection Act saying “Basically, Louisiana, unknowingly to us, had a lower standard of care for women who elected to have abortions in some places,” Jackson said. “And so what we did was make sure that that standard of health care that we established in Louisiana for years also applied to abortion.”

While on the other hand, a pro-life advocate and Susan B. Anthony List’s vice president of government affairs, Marilyn Musgrave, also stated that “Louisiana’s abortion businesses have a long and well-documented history of serious health and safety violations that have systematically placed women and girls at risk.” Musgraves added that “The state has an obligation to regulate these businesses just as they regulate all other ambulatory surgical centers. It is disingenuous for anyone to claim they care about women and yet actively work to lower the bar on women’s health and safety.”

Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life also echoed the same sentiment “Women deserve this very basic care and respect. Abortion shouldn’t be given a pass on health regulations and oversight.”
