While a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett was among hundreds who signed an anti-abortion letter that accompanied a January 2006 newspaper ad calling for "an end to the barbaric legacy of Roe v. Wade."
Experts say it’s not surprising that she opposes abortion, given her religious beliefs and conservative tutelage. She's viewed as an acolyte to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, for whom she clerked. "I think the American people are going to see over the coming days someone who is very capable of understanding the difference between personal beliefs – whatever they may have, we all have personal beliefs – and that of being a judge," Graham said.If the 48-year-old is confirmed, conservatives would lock in a 6-3 majority, probably for years to come.
"I don't think that abortion or the right to abortion would change. I think some of the restrictions would change," Barrett said at an event sponsored by Jacksonville University's Public Policy Institute. "I think the question is how much freedom the court is willing to let states have in regulating abortion."
“There’s a lot the court can do to make it virtually impossible for poor women in red states to get an abortion,” he said. Similar anti-abortion ads were placed in the South Bend Tribune at least 11 times from 1992 through 2019. Some spanned multiple pages and included anti-abortion images and language. Of those 11 ads, Barrett and her husband's names appeared only in 2006, according to an online search of the paper's archives.Barrett signed a 2015 letter to Catholic bishops
And what's wrong with this?
The more I hear her the worse she sounds.
Any woman who votes to repeal Roe vs Wade is not a 'sister' to other women. It's called 'CHOICE' NOT A MANDATE
Neuter more men
So what. Glad she isn’t a hypocrite as a Catholic. All of these morons trying to turn a human that cares about life into a monster? The true face of evil.
Biased even before being confirmed! That’s a deal killer. Justices have to rule based on the facts, not their prejudices. DISQUALIFIED!!!
We have justices on both sides of the abortion debate. The question is whether they can put their personal feelings aside and rule based on the law. Weird how the media only questions conservatives about this.
SO what? Is a requirement for a Justice of the Supreme Court to be an abortionist? I believe diversity of ideas is a motto of the liberals.
Being a mets fan is death!
So she's gonna ban IVF then. Ok
We don’t need another Pope, we need to survive Trump.
If she defended the right to life until natural death then she would do something to stop Trump.
Yes, so shes a BLM supporter. Cool
So she won't approve of the death penalty?
From Fertilization? This is why science is important. A fertilized egg is not a baby, it’s not even attached to the uterus. 50% of all fertilized eggs are lost before a woman misses menses.
I’ll give the judge credit. She’s adopted unwanted children. That’s more than most “Christians” have done.
As opposed to signing something that says I support the right to have an abortion right up until the babies head is about show? Who's the bad guy here?
That’s fine - just don’t make it the law of the land that others are required to follow.
Go are going , going and going back in time! It doesn’t affect me at my age but we need to preserve the rights of others to choose
Personal belief is one thing, how one interprets the law is separate.
Abortion was initially 'created' to 'Kill' off the black race, but it backfired! Margaret Higgins Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood, a Racist & Eugenic. Abortion should only be for 'rape' & Life & Death circumstances. Although, Democcrats Disagree. Isis
With the constant movement in the value of Bitcoin, there is 10 times increase upon every investment made under the period of inbalance. What this means is that you can make as much as $10000 in a week with as low as $1000. Too Good to be True Right?.send a Dm for more info
This is a BIG Issue. Barrett has sent in her resume to Trump in the same manner as Barr did. Both the AG and Supreme Court are independent of Party. Roe-Wade is settled law for decades. Even Conservatives recognize that. It has survived GOP and Democrat led Administrations.
So, she’s against the death penalty?
Sure is difficult for the average woman to know moment when an egg has been 'fertilized.' This woman is an anti-abortion zealot.
Good
so is she against the death penalty?
The alarm bells should be going off across the country. 🛎🛎🛎🛎 AmyConeyBarrettSCOTUS WomensRightsAreHumanRights
I, the following citizen oppose the premature death of 200K+ vulnerable US citizens due 2 mismanagement of DT & GOPs & constant maligning of HC-professionals, ask 4 federal investigation & restitutions 4 their families. In JUSTICE I believe.
What should be overturned is her allowed to force her personal beliefs on others which is an abuse of office. Nothing more clearly demonstrates her gross unsuitability for the Supreme Court than her inflexibility & religious doctrines, neither of which she can leave at the door.
🤬🤬🤬🤬
Under His Eye
Future headline. 'Nominee ACB seen in this picture with her husand burning down a synagogue, Trump praises her as being enthusiastic defender of 'our heritage'.'
A Dem-controlled Senate will neutralize her by adding to or even subtracting from the Court. It’ll be spectacular 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You do know that over half the country is pro-life right?
Roe v Wade is on the chopping block. If this doesn't get women to the polls in November their fate is sealed.
Sounds good ! Vote and get her on the Supreme Court!!!!!!
OK. But is she or any so called PRO LIFERS ever contributed anything to any ORPHANS organizations? Talk is cheap, SHOW me the MONEY!
Oh the horror
she can be a traitor to the gender. i'm just not a member of that community to condemn or approve of it. that being said, plenty of women i know are pissed at losing their bodily autonomy & that's enough to piss me off right along with them.
Go ahead Media-A-holes. Attack our religion. See how that works out for you. TRUMP 2020
Does it also include POVERTY, NO HEALTH CARE AND HUNGER?
HerbertWensink 😥

So free health care?
