Pro-Abortion Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor Passes Away
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor died Friday at the age of 93, according to the Supreme Court.
O’Connor passed away due to complications from advanced dementia, “probably Alzheimer’s, and a respiratory illness,” the court said in a statement. O’Connor was the first female Supreme Court justice in the nation’s history but sadly her radical abortion advocacy resulted in killing countless girls in abortions.
O’Connor was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1981 and served until her retirement in 2006. Confirmed by the Senate in a unanimous vote, she became the first woman to serve on the highest court in the land.
During her tenure, she played a pivotal role in shaping legal decisions and became a symbol of female empowerment in the legal field for leftists who supported unlimited abortions. She often found herself as the crucial swing vote, making her decisions particularly influential.

Although she was appointed by Reagan, O’Connor bucked his pro-life views and become one of the more radical abortion advocates on the court.
Not only did O’Connor repeatedly promote an unlimited right to abortion throughout pregnancy during her tenure on the Supreme Court, she authored the high court decision that overturned state bans on partial-birth abortion. The Supreme Court had to go back, years later, and reverse her decision to allow the national partial-birth abortion ban to stand.
O’Connor served as Assistant Attorney General before being appointed to the Arizona State Senate in 1969. In 1973, O’Connor was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals, marking a significant milestone as the first woman in the United States to hold such a position.
O’Connor retired from the Supreme Court in 2006, citing her husband’s health as a primary reason. Following her retirement, she remained active in various capacities, focusing on issues such as judicial independence and civic education. O’Connor also became an advocate for Alzheimer’s awareness after her husband’s diagnosis.
