明尼苏达州参议员艾米·克洛布查尔(Amy Klobuchar)称，法官撤销FDA批准堕胎药丸的裁决“令人难以置信”。
Klobuchar本周表示，特朗普任命的三名法官“不应该为全国的女性做出决定”。
“下一步会是什么?那个法官会不喜欢避孕药吗?我们会有一个不喜欢[胆固醇药物]立普妥的法官吗?国会赋予FDA做出这些安全决定的权力是有原因的。”
Klobuchar说，如果最高法院维持这一决定，妇女将受到“伤害”
“妇女们将不得不乘坐公共汽车穿越整个国家，从得克萨斯州到明尼苏达州或伊利诺伊州。这就是现在的问题，”Klobuchar说。
Klobuchar表示，堕胎权和法律将是2024年选举中选民的核心问题。
论黛安娜·范斯坦的缺席
当被问及她的同事加利福尼亚州参议员黛安娜·范斯坦时，她是参议院司法委员会的成员，因带状疱疹已离开参议院数月，克洛布查尔说，范斯坦做出了暂时离开该委员会的“正确决定”。
但是Klobuchar不支持当前的打电话众议院民主党人要求范斯坦因缺席而辞职。
“就长期而言，如你所知，许多人在生病期间外出了一段时间，然后又回来了。在这种情况下，我们最终需要她在参议院的投票。我们面临债务上限等问题。但我认为我们需要做的是相信她的话，”克洛布查尔说。
仅次于美国。达到了借款限额今年1月，美国陷入政治僵局，共和党人和民主党人对穆迪分析公司(Moody's Analytics)的经济学家目前如何预测“X日期”(定义为财政部将于8月18日耗尽资金的日子)存在分歧。
尽管如此，Klobuchar承认，如果参议员没有回来，范斯坦的缺席“将成为一个问题”。
“这不仅仅是关于加州。也关乎民族。我们不能以一票之差指望其他人每次都到场，”克洛布查尔说。
这位明尼苏达州民主党人表示，她预计范斯坦将重返参议院，称“这肯定会在债务上限投票之前发生。”
当被问及共和党参议员是否会阻止任命另一名民主党参议员进入司法委员会的投票时，Klobuchar说:“我当然希望不会，因为这违反了参议院的先例和我们的运作方式。”
Amy Klobuchar on abortion pill ruling: 'Unbelievable'
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., called a judge's ruling rescinding FDA approval of an abortion pill "unbelievable."
Three Trump-appointed judges "should not be making the decision for women across the country," Klobuchar said on This Week.
"What is going to be next? Is that judge going to not like birth control pills? Are we going to have a judge that doesn't like [cholesterol medication] Lipitor? There's a reason that Congress gave the FDA the power to make these decisions about safety."
Klobuchar said if the Supreme Court upholds this decision, women will be "harmed."
"It's women that are going to have to take a bus across the country from Texas to Minnesota or to Illinois. That's the problem right now," Klobuchar said.
Klobuchar said abortion access and laws will be a central issue for voters in the 2024 election.
On Dianne Feinstein's absence
When asked about her colleague Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and has been absent from the Senate for months due to shingles, Klobuchar said Feinstein made the "right decision" to temporarily step off of the committee.
But Klobuchar does not support the currentcallsfrom House Democrats for Feinstein to resign due to her absence.
"As for the long term, many people have been out as you know, for periods of time when they're sick, and they have come back. In this case, we are going to need her vote on the Senate floor eventually. We have things like the debt ceiling coming up. But I think what we need to do is take her at her word," Klobuchar said.
After the United Statesreached its borrowing limitin January, the country was thrown into a political standoff, with Republicans and Democrats disagreeing about how Economists at Moody's Analytics currently project the "X date," defined as the day the Treasury Department will run out of money, to be Aug. 18.
Still, Klobuchar acknowledged that Feinstein's absence "is going to become an issue as the months go by" if the senator does not return.
"This isn't just about California. It's also about the nation. And we just can't with this one-vote margin and expect every other person to be there every single time," Klobuchar said.
The Minnesota Democrat says she expects Feinstein to return to the Senate, saying "it sure better happen before the debt ceiling vote."
"I sure hope not because that is against the precedent of the Senate and how we've run things," Klobuchar said when asked if Republican senators will block a vote to appoint another Democratic senator to the Judiciary Committee, which will likely happen this week.
