The lawyer who represented Christine Blasey Ford, who made sexual assault allegations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh before his Supreme Court confirmation hearings, said in a speech earlier in the year that Ford was motivated to come forward to put “an asterisk” on his reputation before he could rule on Roe v. Wade.

Lawyer Debra Katz made the remarks during her speech at the University of Baltimore’s 11th Feminist Legal Theory Conference, “Applied Feminism and #MeToo” in April this year.
