Solicitor General Nominee is Abortion Rights Denier

Trump's Nominee for Solicitor General is D John Sauer John Sauer, a lawyer arguing Donald Trump's presidential immunity case, generated significant controversy when he asserted, in response to a judge's hypothetical, that a president could not be prosecuted if he were to order the assassination of a political rival -- unless he were first impeached and convicted.

The former solicitor general of Missouri, Sauer is no stranger to the Supreme Court, nor is he a stranger to controversy. Sauer filed many briefs before the high court in his role with the Missouri attorney general's office " including one pressing justices to toss out the 2020 election results in key swing states. As solicitor general, Sauer was also involved with an anti-abortion case that created a national firestorm, after Missouri's top health official acknowledged his agency had put together a spreadsheet tracking Planned Parenthood patients' menstrual cycles.

He also

In 2019, Sauer defended the state health department over its effort to revoke the license for Missouri's only abortion clinic, run by Planned Parenthood in St. Louis. As part of that case, it came out that the agency had been tracking the menstrual cycles of the Planned Parenthood's patients, supposedly in order to determine if any had failed abortion procedures.

After Missouri's administrative hearing commission found that the state had wrongly denied the clinic's license, and ordered the state health department to pay $146,000 to cover Planned Parenthood's legal bills, Sauer continued fighting. He argued the state shouldn't have to pay, and attempted to use the opportunity to pursue discovery and keep going after Planned Parenthood.

"This is not the little guy we're dealing with here," said Sauer. "This is the thousand-pound gorilla when it comes to litigation resources."

Sauer also spearheaded Missouri's defense of a law that attempted to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood on the grounds that it is an abortion provider, when most of its work involves non-abortion services and many of its clinics don't provide abortions. The effort failed at the state Supreme Court.

In 2021, Sauer filed a brief for the Missouri attorney general in a case supporting an Arizona law that criminalized abortions based on genetic abnormalities. In another case involving Planned Parenthood, Sauer sought to have the Supreme Court approve a similar Missouri law that not only prohibited medical providers from performing abortions due to Down Syndrome, but from performing abortions at all after 8, 14, 18, or 22 weeks.
