| Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta |
Gupta served as the head of the civil rights division of the Justice Department during the Obama administration and has made her pro-abortion views widely known.
In 2020, she argued before the Supreme Court against the Little Sisters of the Poor. She said to the Justices that religious groups should not receive an exemption from paying for contraception, sterilization, or abortion.
In January of 2020, she retweeted the Golden Globes acceptance speech by Michelle Williams in which the actor thanks God for her abortion and says that she wouldn't have been able to be successful without abortion.
She also applauded the Supreme Court decision in June Medical Services v. Russo, which overturned Louisiana's Unsafe Abortion Protection Act. That law would have required abortion clinics to maintain admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. “The Supreme Court reaffirmed today that every individual should have the right to make their own decisions about their health, their families, their lives, and their futures,” Gupta said. “This is a victory for tireless abortion advocates from Louisiana and around the country….”
