Ruth Bader Ginsburg's impact on generations of women: 'She changed the way the law sees gender'

The highly respected Supreme Court judge died at the age of 87 after a hard-fought health battle.APthe second woman to sit on the high court, felt like a personal loss to generations of American women, as well as young girls.

"It's astonishing from our modern vantage point to think that Supreme Court recognition for constitutional equality of women is only 50 years old," she said.Ruth Bader Ginsburg, circa 1977. After Sandra Day O'Connor -- the Supreme Court's first female justice -- retired in 2006, and before Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined the court in 2009, Ginsburg was the only woman on the Supreme Court.

Ginsburg later transferred to Columbia University Law School after her husband got a job in New York City. When Ginsburg graduated at the top of her class in 1959 without a job offer from a New York law firm, she accepted a clerkship with a Manhattan federal judge. Gluck, who clerked for Ginsburg in the 2003 term, said the legendary lawyer"was an extraordinary mentor to all of her law clerks. She cared deeply about our work lives and our personal lives. She got to know our children.""She taught me how to be a lawyer," Gluck said."She taught me what it means to lead a life committed to the causes of social justice."

drlorileeoates Libs are you happy now that your icon Ginsburg did not retire at 77 under Obama?

Might have been alot MORE if not for abortions.

Unborn children are happy

Now the crazy media is saying that the new Supreme Court how many Barrett going to take the Americans health care the Democrats are worse than “THE BOOGIE MAN “ 😂😂😂😂

Hopefully we will not go backward.

Calm down, Trump’s giving you another woman, if that’s all that matters.

She inspired my sister to get 7 Abortions. Rip RBGLegacy RBG

The left wants abortion on demand and attacks a woman of faith who adopts two children from Haiti. Remember that in November SaturdayMorning cnnbrk CNN

She should have retired when Obama gave her the chance she could have helped someone like her fill her seat now her lifetime of work is going to be undone and we all fucked for the foreseeable future.

Sure it did.

May God rest her

Ruth öldü ama adalet ölmedi...

Genrations of libtard women and girls. We gotcha ABCNews. Great work!

No it didn’t. Most people don’t even care.

FillTheSeat it’s time to move on.

A truly modern inspirational woman.Gentle,proud,strong and kind..among many other things. Having RBG as a role model in our lifetime is an enormous treasure...she left a gift we may not even be conscious of.💜✌✊🤍

Enorme pérdida para las mujeres y gente de bien. Su legado permeará por generaciones, una gran mujer y ser humano se ha ido. Descanse en paz.

You mean there are no other women to look up to? Just RGB?

The loss was less keenly felt by the millions of girls that were cut to pieces and sucked from their mothers' wombs during Ginsburg's tenure.

And to thousands of aborted babies...who can't say how much they got to love RBG!

I didn’t feel anything. I feel great actually

Can you wallow in your idealistic egotism a little harder, please?

With all due respect, why did George Floyd have more funerals than RBG?

No it didn’t. Most didn’t know who she was till this month lol

Really? Nothing about Sandra Day O'Conner.

YeahYeah🐦 ❤️ NOTORIOUSrbg InHerHonor SO Let's be REAL FAIR Republicans! Lets Honor her dying words..If POTUS gop tries to fill RBG's seat, then Garland deserves a hearing and VOTE Gorsuch is occupying a STOLEN seat! So stick to ur Agreement, or this is FRAUD, and THEFT!

B.S. !!! Ginsburg, was an Extreme Liberal Leftist! She was an Icon to the radical leftist Anti-Capitalistic Cartel! She's being replaced by a Lady that other women can look up to & follow her role to apply the Constitution, rather than to interpret it. & redesign it's worth !

FILLTHATSEATNOW

Generations? Why stop there?

No it didn’t. 95% of women can’t name anything she did in her career except project Abortion rights

There is also a huge portion of the female electorate that respects her as a woman, but we don’t agree with her ideology.

R.I.P RBG 🙏

Nah, it didn’t

It's a huge loss to me and I'm Canadian. Loved her and what she stood for. Devotion to family and to her country.

Yes. And GOPLeader and senatemajldr didn’t even take the time to attend her memorial. A good example of what they think of women...

No worries ACB will be an even bigger inspiration

Women shouldn't worry about who is replacing RBG , there's always an alternative for solve unwanted pregnancy: Birthcontrolmethods, PillsCondomsfree.

thank you for sharing her photo history so everyone can see she had it all women of brains, beauty and bravery

What a life! What a legacy🙌🏼 thankyou

AND AMY IS THE DREAM OF AMERICA

Young girls probably had no idea who she was.

Wasn’t a loss to me but a gain...fill that seat !

RBG was a remarkable woman indeed! BUT never fear, ACB will be an inspiration to these young women and for generations of American women to come!

So I guess the nomination of another woman to fill her seat will feel like a personal gain for generations of American women?

Nope, looked forward to it.

Now they'll have Amy Coney Barrett to look up to. Or is she 'the wrong kind' to give inspiration?

I have seen many small company and vendor with name ABC but have you ever seen company naming XYZ 😊😊😊 Please comment

Maybe we should teach kids not to tie their emotional health to partisan politics.

Sandra Day O’Connor Ruth Bader Ginsburg

No it didn't.

A new women is nominated

this is propaganda

Really says who this lady hated kids and the constitution

Most Americans, male or female wouldn’t have known RBG if they tripped over her.

A new woman is on her way!

Young girls? Bullshit. Young girls don't even know who the fuck she is. Stop with that nonsense.

Well the loss will be momentary don't you worry, another woman will take her seat and a whole generation of women and girls will have another female to look up to. You know, bc it's the vagina that counts, not their character and actions.

And men and boys. Men and boys can find role models in great women too.

WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT. U TRUMP HATERS IN THE MEDIA, ARE TRYING TO CONDITION THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. IN TO THINKING THAT SOMEHOW, THIS IS A PROTECTED DARTH VADER GINSBERG SEAT ON THE COURT. SO AS TO TRY TO INFLUENCE THE PRESIDENT, IN WHO HE PICKS TO REPLACE HER. UR FOOLING NO ONE !

Ginsburg’s supposedly death bed dying wishes or desires do not override our constitution!

Fill the seat.

why? Because they've been conditioned to believe she was the only bulwark protecting their 'right' to all-abortion all-the-time? What kind of ghoul makes all their decisions on the basis of being able to legally kill their own progeny?

An enormous loss to American women. Fierce advocate for equal rights, putting us on equal footing in many areas. So sad and concerned if we will be forced back into the 60s without her.

She fought so hard for all of us!

Yeah, young girls completely have SCOTUS on the brain.

And now we go backwards.

When someone expires 87 there is no need to mourn. It is like ripe fruit dropping off a tree.

Because it was! 🇺🇸

I was 15 when she was appointed, she was my hero. We must remember, however, this is not 1983. We are fine. She made sure we would be. Don’t panic.

The news is trying to portray Ginsburg as mother Theresa which I don’t think she is

The left is mad at her for dying. Sad.

Worshipping the Democratic patron saint of 9th month, public funded abortion is unseemly.

Hear Ye Hear Ye The Constitution 🤔

Lol, live under covid tyranny affecting many aspects of your life while some dead supreme stranger finally with no more power stays in the news. Joke.

wsoctv Awwwe look at ALL THE CRYING DEMOCRATIC babies!!! You seriously think trump needed help WINNING!!! Nope no he doesn’t! If you vote for BIDEN you’re brain dead

Politics Crikey.

Just another Dem & Media Con Job acting like this is unusual History of Election year SCOTUS vacancies - Has occurred 29 times - Pres nominated all 29 times - 19 times Pres/Sen same party, 17 approved - 10 times Pres/Sen different parties 2 approved

In respect for justice Ginsburg, President Trump should announce his replacement as soon as possible, this week. In respect for the good work that Ginsburg did and keeping continuity.

wsbtv Ohhh that’s not convenient for me as I have to binge watch Trump 2016 Election night videos those days.

Joe Biden mourns Ruth Bader Ginsburg and says she shouldn't be replaced until after the election'There is no doubt, let me be clear, that the voters should pick the president, and the president should pick the justice for the Senate to consider,' Joe Biden said following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg The voters did. They elected Trump in 2016. So the pick is his to make while he is president. It’s so simple that even a moron like Biden should be able to figure it out... Imagine if you didn’t appoint a new justice before the election and the election was contested and had to be ruled on by the Supreme Court? What happens if it’s then a 4-4 tie in the Supreme Court? This is stupid people. There is a president already unless you are saying his term ends before election
