After the Senate’s confirmation of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Saturday, we asked women across the country to tell us how they were reacting.
We heard from 40,000 people.
Many of the women — lawyers, teachers, home-schoolers, military spouses — expressed anger and bitterness over the nomination fight and those on the other side of the political divide. They also told us what lessons from this confirmation they will pass down to the next generation.
Here is a selection of their responses, edited and condensed for clarity. Please use the comments to tell us how you viewed this moment.
Jennifer Turpin is a hospice nurse, a rape survivor and a single mother of two who lives in South Carolina.
Roe v. Wade will not be overturned. It is the law of the land. Too many liberals are thinking with their emotions and not the rational parts of their brains, and this is causing them to act as if they are irrational teenagers.
Trump, Kavanaugh — these men are not going to take away women’s rights. In fact, if people would take a minute to look at the evidence, they would find much to the contrary. 
Her lesson:
It’s important to stand your ground and fight for everything on which this country was founded.
