The organization has raised concerns about Robert Kennedy’s commitment to pro-life policies, despite his attempts to reassure Republicans. His past positions on abortion have led to doubts, especially regarding his stance on Roe v. Wade and abortion bans before fetal viability.
This is not the first time Vice President Mike Pence has tried to block Kennedy’s nomination. Pence has previously expressed concerns due to Kennedy’s record on abortion, which includes opposing some restrictions.
However, many GOP senators have shown support for Kennedy after meeting with him personally. They appear to be more focused on his qualifications and have largely backed his nomination despite the pro-life concerns.
In the ongoing debate, Kennedy’s ability to reassure Republican lawmakers has played a key role in his continued support. The issue remains a point of contention, but his nomination seems likely to proceed with backing from most Republicans.
