In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” the progressive Democrat ticked off several choices by the high court that reflected its more conservative direction.
“This court has lost legitimacy,” she announced. “They have burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had after their gun decision, after their voting decision, after their union decision. They just took the last of it and set a torch to it with the Roe v. Wade opinion. I believe we need to get some confidence back in our court, and that means we need more justices on the United States Supreme Court.”

(Warren has previously called for expanding the number of justices, including in an op-ed in The Boston Globe in December.)

So instead it was about getting extremist judges into the United States Supreme Court. And let's see how much credibility those justices have now.”

“The whole idea is that women are not second-class citizens,” she announced.
"And the government is not the one that will decide about the continuation of a pregnancy. There's no equivalent there for men. So what we believe is that access to abortion, like other medical procedures, should be available across the board to all people in this country.”

Going forward, Warren stated, Democrats will be “laser focused” on November elections — naming Pennsylvania’s Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and Wisconsin’s Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes in their Senate races.
“We bring them in, then we've got the votes, and we can protect every woman, no matter where she lives,” Warren announced.
