Barrett’s Catholic beliefs and pro-life views were again raised as a concern during her recent Senate hearings. Several senators questioned Barrett’s decision to sign a 2006 open letter as she came out of church, which opposed abortion on demand and defended the right to life. Barrett also becomes the sixth Catholic currently serving on the Court, in addition to Justice Neil Gorsuch who was raised Catholic but now attends Protestant services.

Asked by several senators whether she would overrule Roe v. Wade if confirmed, Barrett cited judicial ethics and the positions of previous Supreme Court nominees who refused to commit themselves to particular outcomes. Barrett said she would “follow the law” without bias.

Justice Barrett is also mother to seven children, two of whom are adopted, and one of whom has Down syndrome. She will be the first mother of school-aged children to serve on the Court.

When nominating Justice Barrett on September 26, President Trump remarked that she is, “a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials, and unyielding loyalty to the Constitution.” Barrett promised to, “discharge the judicial oath, which requires me to administer justice without respect to persons, do equal right to the poor and rich, and faithfully and impartially discharge my duties under the United States Consitution.”

Live Action founder and president Lila Rose stated in response:

I am hopeful that Justice Amy Coney Barrett, when given the opportunity, will acknowledge the obvious: there is absolutely no right to kill children found in the Constitution. The science is crystal clear: a human life in the womb is just as human as a life outside of the womb. The Constitution states that each of us must be given equal treatment under the law, and this includes children in the womb. Abortion is the greatest civil and human rights battle of our day.

Justices have played a role in preserving or restoring the rights and dignity of oppressed people groups throughout America’s history. Overruling Roe v. Wade and acknowledging the preborn child’s Constitutional right to life would be a crucial step toward making abortion unthinkable and finally granting the preborn child the legal protection she deserves. When given the opportunity, we hope that Justice Barrett will rule as if tens of millions of children’s lives depended on it — because they do.
