Sen. Kamala Harris, the former attorney general of California, has joined Sen. Dianne Feinstein in being fact checked by mainstream media. Both made inaccurate claims during the course of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. While Feinstein falsely\u00a0stated<\/a> that up to a million women may have died from illegal abortions prior to Roe v. Wade<\/em>, Harris’s deception was more subtle and insidious.<\/p>\n

Harris tweeted a deceptively edited video clip which made it appear that Kavanaugh was calling all birth control<\/a> “abortion inducing drugs.” This video left out Kavanaugh’s beginning remarks in which it was clear he was stating the argument made by the plaintiff in the case he was referencing — not that he, himself, holds that particular position.<\/p>\n

Kavanaugh chooses his words very carefully, and this is a dog whistle for going after birth control. He was nominated for the purpose of taking away a woman\u2019s constitutionally protected right to make her own health care decisions. Make no mistake – this is about punishing women. pic.twitter.com\/zkBjXzIvQI<\/a><\/p>\n
