The fallout from the Supreme Court's decision to overturn abortion rights has ended the nomination of a prosecutor to the high court of Connecticut.
Glover said Monday that the U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2022 overturning the 50-year-old abortion rights case Roe v. Wade "wrong and egregiously so."
"Speaking as a woman, it was horrifying," testified Glover, who is the head of the appellate division of the U.S. Attorney's Office of Connecticut. "All of us should have a constitutional right to control our reproductive freedom and our bodies," she testified. "My belief in this is firm and unwavering."
Despite her statements that day, key Democratic and Republican members of the Judiciary Committee predicted on Tuesday that her nomination would not be approved, the news sitereported. The committee had declined to vote on her nomination after the seven-hour hearing on Monday. "I don't really see a path forward for this particular nominee," said Sen. John Kissel of Enfield, top Republican on the committee, according to CTMirror. "The votes aren't even close to double digits in her favor."
