What impact is religion having on the Brett Kavanaugh story?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

We discuss what the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court will mean for women’s rights. Are the prospects for Roe vs Wade - the 1973 landmark decision on the constitutionality of laws which sought to criminalise or restrict access to abortion – really as bleak as commentators suggest? We hear about the legal and political challenges ahead and what role the supreme court will actually play.
