A religious magazine rescinded its endorsement of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh Thursday after hearing emotional testimony from a woman accusing him of sexual assault. The editors of America Magazine, a weekly Jesuit publication, initially endorsed Kavanaugh. The publication noted his stance on abortion and his lengthy career on the bench.
