"BRETT KAVANAUGH CONFIRMS THERE IS NO RIHT TO ABORTION IN THE CONSTITUTION" - Steven Ertelet, SEP 6, 2018;
https://www.lifenews.com/2018/09/06/brett-kavanaugh-confirms-there-is-no-right-to-abortion-in-the-constitution/ [AS I SEE IT: The media plays up the fact that Judge Kavanaugh once said that abortion is "settled law." But here, speaking as one who is commited to uphold what the Constitution says, he clearly indicates that the Roe law is not rooted in the Constitution and therefore opens itself to be overturned, even as a precedent. Yes! - Stan]
Under questioning from pro-life Senator Lindsey Graham, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh confirmed there is no “specific” right to abortion in the Constitution.
During his nomination hearings, Judge Kavanaugh has been careful to discuss abortion within the context of what the Supreme Court has decided in the precedent-setting cases of Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood without biasing the hearings with his own views in a way that would force him to recuse himself in future abortion cases before the court.
While most of the questioning has been from pro-abortion Democrats attempting to get Kavanaugh to agree that Roe, which allows virtually unlimited abortions up to birth, is “settled law” that can never be overturned, Graham took a different tact. He wanted Kavanaugh to confirm that a so-called right to abortion doesn’t exist in the Constitution. And Kavanaugh, who tried to remain impartial and to merely refer what the Supreme Court has done, eventually confirmed that no specific words exist creating a right to kill unborn babies in abortions.
“Is there any phrase in the Constitution about abortion?” Graham asked Kavanaugh.
“The Supreme Court has found that under the liberty clause, but you’re right that specific words,” Kavanaugh said before stopping as Graham continued. Kavanaugh clearly was beginning to admit Graham’s point that abortion or a right to abortion is never specifically addressed in the Constitution — but was made up by the Supreme Court in 1973.
Graham then continued to focus on how the high court invented the abortion right. “I don’t remember [a right to abortion] being part of American history, so how did the court determine that it was? The last time I checked, liberty didn’t apply to abortion. The Supreme Court said it did, but here’s the point: what are the limits on this concept?”
Earlier today, a new document was released showing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is possibly open to overturning the infamous Roe v Wade decision that allows virtually unlimited abortions up to birth. [see link below]
During the first day of questioning, Judge Brett Kavanaugh refused to say that there is a so-called right to abortion. He declined to take the bait from pro-abortion Senator Dianne Feinstein who wants to get him to commit to upholding Roe v Wade once he is confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Kavanaugh also refused a pro-abortion senator’s request to promise to never overturn Roe v Wade, the high court case allowing abortions up to birth.

Praying for Iran At #10 on the 2018 World Watch List and with a Church of 800,000 strong (out of 80.9 million), the main threat for believers in Iran comes from the government. The regime sees Christians, especially converts from Islam, as a threat and frequently imprisons believers for reaching out to Muslims— “crimes against the national security.” Throughout September, we’ll be focusing on our persecuted family in Iran. Please join us in praying with these secret believers.

I think Kavanaugh is playing it safe. When the Constitution was written, there was no such thing as abortions, so therefore there can be no "specific" words granting the right to abortions within the Constitution. Even if Kavanaugh wanted to overturn Roe v Wade, it would have to be done within the context of another SCOTUS case (e.g. Brown v Board was the case that overturned Plessy v Ferguson, the case that established "separate but equal"). Kennedy's seat needs to be filled eventually, so I think Kavanaugh will get confirmed as long as he doesn't indicate what he would do in a future case where Roe v Wade could be overturned - he can't possibly know anyway because his actions would have to be specific to that future case.
