Johnsen is an extremely radical nominee whose views are light years away from those of most Americans….
Her views on abortion are even more radical. Johnsen has been a strong advocate of the use of public funds to pay for abortions, something most Americans deplore. In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, Johnsen fought a Missouri law prohibiting the use of public funds to “encourage or counsel” a woman to have an abortion. She argued:

Statutes that curtail [a woman’s] abortion choice are disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the 13th Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state’s asserted interest.
