Choice Ireland

The Oval
21 April 2010

President Obama said today he doesn't have "litmus tests" on social issues for any Supreme Court nominee, but he supports abortion rights and he will make sure his choice "takes into account individual rights, and that includes women's rights."

"Part of what our core constitutional values promote is the notion that individuals are protected in their privacy and their bodily integrity, and women are not exempt from that," Obama said before meeting with a group of senators.
