Sen. Susan Collins was blasted Friday for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as opponents targeted her votes to confirm two justices to the Supreme Court who were in the majority opinion allowing states to ban abortion.
Critics of the Maine senator haven't forgotten the key role she played in confirming Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, and she was ripped anew on social media.
Rachel Irwin, who works for Building Back Together, which promotes President Joe Biden's policy agenda, called Friday's abortion news Collins'"legacy." "Throwing out a precedent overnight that the country has relied upon for half a century is not conservative," she said."It is a sudden and radical jolt to the country that will lead to political chaos, anger, and a further loss of confidence in our government."
"This decision is inconsistent with what Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh said in their testimony and their meetings with me, where they both were insistent on the importance of supporting long-standing precedents that the country has relied upon," she said.
