Justice Samuel Alito SCOFFS At Critics After Dismantling Human Rights

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito gave a completely out-of-pocket speech in Rome in his first public remarks since he helped overturn the Roe v Wade precedent earlier this month. Justice Alito mocked critics of the reversal, emphasizing how foreign leaders and the international community have weighed in on the decision while dismissing any of the horrors pregnant people across the country have had to deal with since the Dobbs v Jackson decision was handed down. John Iadarola, Ramesh Srinivasan, and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"As horror stories abound of the impact his Dobbs ruling is having on pregnant people across the United States, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito used his keynote address Thursday at Notre Dame's Religious Liberty Summit in Rome to mock critics of the opinion, which ended constitutional protections for abortion and endangered a plethora of other rights.

"I had the honor this term of writing I think the only Supreme Court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders who felt perfectly fine commenting on American law," Alito said in his first public address since the ruling, which was joined by the high court's five other right-wing justices.

The audience laughed in response to Alito's call-out of European officials and others who denounced the Supreme Court's gutting of reproductive freedoms, which human rights experts have decried as a grievous violation of international law. In the wake of the June decision, pregnant people have been forced to carry and deliver nonviable fetuses, denied basic healthcare even in life-threatening situations, and forced to travel across state lines to obtain abortions."
