O’Reilly: RBG Was Ms. Abortion
There’s no question that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a woman of the Left. She believed in an evolving Constitution, which was at odds with most Americans who look at the document as a creation for the ages, without changing with the whims of society.
To her credit, Ginsburg valiantly fought for women’s rights after struggling early in her career to rise in the judicial process because of her gender. But she brought that sensibility to the court in her rulings, molding the Constitution into what she preferred politically. That was not her job. Justices are not tasked with crafting the law. That duty belongs to Congress.
Perhaps RBG’s biggest crusade–and the central factor in the Left’s contention against her replacement–was her stance on abortion. Political pundit Bill O’Reilly says there was no way RBG was going to limit abortion. “The unborn had no rights in her eyes. None. No protection, no rights, nothing. She was Ms. Abortion.”
Despite his strong feeling, O’Reilly concedes that RBG was, in fact, a patriot. And her zeal for abortion rights was real. “But the abortion thing bothers me,” he says. “A just country protects the unborn. A just country protects those who are the weakest.”
