Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThis is a specific factual assertion about Kavanaugh's stated position on abortion at the time of his confirmation meetings, which is verifiable through his confirmation hearings and related records.
What we foundThe claim that Kavanaugh was 'against abortion' when he met with Collins is directly contradicted by multiple independent, contemporaneous sources — including Collins's own public statements — which confirm Kavanaugh told her Roe v. Wade was 'settled law,' not that he opposed abortion.
