Richard Blumenthal, who lied about his military service, claimed Monday that the Supreme Court has an agenda to ban contraception.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in front of the Capitol Building, Blumenthal alleged that the high court is run by a \u201cright-wing fringe majority\u201d that wants to strip away other non-enumerated rights following the court\u2019s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson that overturned Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States Supreme Court is now run by a right-wing fringe majority that has the right to contraception on its hit list,\u201d Blumenthal said. \u201cThat hit list also includes marriage equality, it includes other rights that are based on the right to privacy, that\u2019s what the Supreme Court said in Dobbs, in overturning Roe v. Wade it said Roe was egregiously wrong, there is no right to privacy that protects all of these other rights, and so every one of them is now in danger. It\u2019s only a matter of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to send a message to the women and the men of America, the right to contraception is protected, not by the Supreme Court because we can\u2019t count on them anymore, but by the United States Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Senator Richard Blumenthal, who lied about serving in Vietnam, is now lying about some SCOTUS conspiracy to ban contraception.
