President JoeBiden nominates lawyer who argued for abortion clinic at Supreme Court for judgeship
The president's nomination of Rikelman came during his 24th round of judicial nominees and nearly a month after the high court ruled to allow states the ability to impose laws severely limiting or restricting abortion access for women. Rikelman was the legal counsel for the Jackson Women's Health Organization clinic that sought to challenge the state's law banning abortion after 15 weeks.
Rikelman's background is also noteworthy given the growing litigation challenges in state and federal courts since the June 24 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
