Why Justice Barrett Scares Pro-Choice Advocates
December 12, 2020
For pro-life advocates, Amy Coney Barrett isn’t just an added vote to an already conservative majority on the Supreme Court, she is one of the most conservative judges in recent history. The contoversy is two-fold.
On one hand, those who are not fundamentalist Christians are concerned with “the dogma which lives loudly inside” her – to paraphrase Sen. Diane Feinstein of Calif.
On the other hand, Chris Hedges, journalist and ordained minister, points out in
Consortium News that the Christian Right may be content to focus on her opposition to abortion and membership in People of Praise, a far-right group which began as a Catholic offshoot group, because this distracts from her bias in favor of corporate power.
