Impact of Ford testimony for abuse survivors

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony last week, in which she accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, was a trying moment in the confirmation process. Kavanaugh denied the accusations, and an FBI investigation did not corroborate the claims. But this week’s Time magazine cover story calls Ford's testimony a watershed moment for victims of sexual abuse. Haley Sweetland Edwards, who authored the story, joins “CBS This Morning: Saturday” to discuss the impact of Ford's testimony.

Revolutionary power of women’s anger

Allegations of sexual assault against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein spurred protests and triggered many women to speak out publicly, often for the first time. That has changed the political and cultural landscape, prompting a backlash from some people who think it's gone too far. Those forces came to a head with last week's testimony by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford. Author Rebecca Traister joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the anger in the Senate hearing, and her new book, "Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger."
