The issues of religious liberty and abortion were briefly raised during the second day of Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump's US Supreme Court nominee.
Gorsuch said on March 21 that he wouldn't give his personal views on Roe vs Wade or any other Supreme Court decision during the hearing and only said the court's decision in Roe set a precedent that has been reaffirmed by the court. He gave similar answers on questions about guns and campaign finance.
When he was asked by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, if Trump asked him to "overrule Roe vs Wade," Gorsuch said he hadn't. When pressed further to say what he would have done if the president asked him that, Gorsuch said he would've "walked out the door. It's not what judges do."
