By providing affordable and accessible birth control to women, there will be fewer abortions
because there would be fewer unwanted pregnancies, said Alaina Kahn, a sophomore
psychology and family science double major at the University of Maryland.
Kahn worries about how Gorsuchs conservative stance will affect her. She is not alone in her
concerns for the future of reproductive rights under Gorsuch.
Due to Gorsuchs history with the Hobby Lobby case and his strict interpretation of the
Constitution, I believe that he may make decisions that limit my reproductive health rights, said
Madison Meyer, a sophomore at the University of Maryland.
While University of Maryland President Wallace Loh has not made a statement about the
nomination, Loh believes students should remain active in these uncertain times.
[W]e have an obligation to speak out when government actions are fundamentally antithetical to
the core values and missions of the institution, Loh said in an email to students Tuesday.
However, others believe Gorsuch may be the best candidate the Trump administration will see.
While Meyer is concerned this nomination could endanger her access to reliable and affordable
birth control, she does not think Gorsuch will have much of a negative impact.
If confirmed, Gorsuch would restore the ideological balance established before Justice Scalias
death, according to CNN News.

However, 49-year-old Gorsuch could continue Trumps promises even after the president leaves
office.
It is possible for Trump to make one more nomination during his first term.
