Pres. Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett signed on to a second 'right to life” advertisement against the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision.
ABC News contributor Kate Shaw explains how the surge in COVID-19 infections could impact the Supreme Court confirmation process and why the Senate must vote in-person.
Barrett said her name was included while she was on the faculty at Notre Dame Law School and member of the “University Faculty for Life” group that sponsored the ad in the student newspaper. She included a copy of the ad, which is not dated, but notes the 40th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision in 1973.
The committee released the 11-page supplemental filing ahead of the start of Barrett's confirmation hearings on Monday, nearly three weeks before the presidentialTrump nominated Barrett, a conservative judge on the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, to fill the seat made vacant by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg last month.
It’s the second known ad she signed on to opposing abortion, both marking milestones in the landmark 1973 rule by the high court now at stake.
