The Girl Scouts of America tweeted a congratulatory message to Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Wednesday, which was deleted after negative comments about the post appeared online.
Barrett, the third conservative justice appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Donald Trump, faced opposition from some lawmakers who expressed concern that Barrett would overturn rulings concerning access to health care. Among those rulings was Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion.
In the tweet, the Girl Scouts praised Barrett for becoming the "5th woman appointed to the Supreme Court since its inception in 1789." Barrett is pictured beside liberal justices Elena Kagan and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
