Supreme Court nominee Barrett signed extremist group's ad decrying 'barbaric legacy of Roe v. Wade'

It should not be a surprise that the person Donald J. Trump has nominated to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court created by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg believes abortion is “always immoral.” That stance, after all, is a key reason Amy Coney Barrett got the nod, although she has plenty of views on a range of other issues that would nudge the court further to right if she is confirmed. She was, after all, a member of the “Faculty for Life” at Notre Dame. It’s thus hardly unexpected that The Guardian would discover Barrett’s name among those who signed a 2006 ad from the extremist anti-abortion group St. Joseph County Right to Life attacking the “barbaric legacy of Roe v. Wade.”
