Following news of the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on September 18, abortion opponents and anti-abortion outlets reacted by celebrating the opportunity for President Donald Trump to appoint her replacement, attacking her voting record on abortion cases, and claiming that a new justice needs to be confirmed as soon as possible to overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion. As we already saw in 2018 with the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, anti-abortion figures and outlets will be ready to deploy a playbook of tactics to make sure another anti-abortion justice is confirmed to the court.
