""The evidence does not show that the American people have traditionally considered the right to obtain an abortion so fundamental to liberty that it '."
""Abortion not only lacked long-standing protection in American law-it had long been forbidden.""
""to respect the choices that the people have agreed upon , not to tell them what they should agree to""
Amy Coney Barrett asserts that the original Roe v. Wade decision got ahead of the American people and disregarded public will. She argues that historical evidence does not show Americans considered abortion a fundamental liberty right and contends that abortion had long been forbidden and lacked longstanding legal protection. Barrett maintains the Supreme Court should respect choices agreed upon by the people rather than impose rights not grounded in history. The account includes descriptions of celebratory reactions after the ruling and notes Barrett's personal opposition to abortion and the controversy during her nomination.
