Hillary Clinton: 'No place at all' for Rebecca Bradley on Supreme Court
MILWAUKEE — Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton took a shot at state Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley in a speech to state Democrats on Saturday, saying Bradley’s past comments about contraception disqualify her from the state’s highest court.
Referring to a column published in 2006 in which Bradley said opponents to a proposal that would allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions including contraceptives because of their personal religious beliefs put “women’s convenience over pharmacists’ objections to being a party to murder.”
“She actually said — I had to read this three times,” Clinton said at the state Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Founders Day dinner, “she actually has said birth control is morally abhorrent.”
Bradley, who is seeking re-election to the court after being appointed last October by Gov. Scott Walker, came under fire in March after the liberal advocacy group One Wisconsin Now unearthed opinion columns she authored as a Marquette University student 24 years ago in which she called AIDS patients and homosexuals degenerates, compared abortion to the Holocaust and slavery, and wrote that an author legitimately suggested women play a role in date rape.
