Podcaster and journalist Katie Couric weighed in on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a podcast released Friday, Couric blamed the former presidential administration for selecting pro-life Justices.
“I don’t think people fully appreciated the damage that Donald Trump was going to do to this country,” Couric said on Unwrapped. “Not everyone appreciated it, and we’re seeing the results not only from the Jan. 6 hearings but from the decisions this Supreme Court is making.”
Former President Donald Trump nominated Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, and both voted to overturn the landmark abortion ruling.
“We’re in a s****y situation,” she added.
Conservative pundits argue the ruling does not impede on a woman’s right to choose, that it simply sends it back to the states to be voted on during an election. Liberal pundits disagree, asserting that overturning Roe violates a woman’s right to choose.
“I know we’ve all been shaken by this, even though we knew it was coming,” she added.
