The conversation surrounding abortion is gearing up again. The hot button topic is heating up after the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. RBG was an advocate for women’s rights. Now, her seat is vacant and many pro-choice supporters were hoping for a replacement after the election. However, Trump made it clear that waiting wasn’t an option. Days after RBG’s death, rumors began to swirl that United States Circuit Judge Amy Coner Barrett would be her successor.


Now, Trump has confirmed those rumors to be true. Judge Amy Coner Barrett, a pro-life supporter, has been nominated to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. So, here’s what reports are saying about Barrett. She is a married mother of 7 children, 2 were adopted from Haiti. According to the Washington Post, Amy is quoted as stating the following on abortion, “I don’t think abortion or the right to abortion would change. I think some of the restrictions would change ... The question is how much freedom the court is willing to let states have in regulating abortion.” — 2016 remarks on how a conservative Supreme Court could alter current law on abortion, saying it wasn’t likely to try and overturn Roe v. Wade. She said the questions the high court would be willing to address would be states’ restrictions on abortions, including how abortion clinics operate.”

That's the left for you."
