Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson said she doesn’t know when life begins after Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) pressed her on Tuesday.
“When does life begin, in your opinion?” Kennedy asked.
“Senator, um, I don’t know,” Jackson said with a nervous laugh. “I don’t know.”
Kennedy then asked when “equal protection of the laws” applies to a human being.
“Well, Senator, I believe that the Supreme Court, um, actually, I don’t know the answer to that question,” she said.

National radio host Todd Starnes has some advice for Jackson.
“Hey Judge Jackson – you just admitted you don’t know when life begins. So would it not be prudent to ban all abortions until you find out?” Starnes tweeted.
