Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Roe v. Wade and abortion: “I think it is very unlikely at this point that the court is going to overturn Roe .... The fundamental element, that the woman has a right to choose abortion, will probably stand.”https://ndsmcobserver.com/2013/01/law-professor-reflects-on-landmark-case/ …

“Barrett said it is important to recognize the emotional and physical difficulty of carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term.”https://ndsmcobserver.com/2013/01/law-professor-reflects-on-landmark-case/ …

“‘Motherhood is a privilege, but it comes at a price,” [Barrett] said. ‘A woman who wants to become pregnant accepts this price, but in an unplanned pregnancy the woman faces the difficulties of pregnancy unwillingly.’”https://ndsmcobserver.com/2013/01/law-professor-reflects-on-landmark-case/ …

“Many women who choose to abort an unwanted pregnancy are both poor and single, Barrett said, and therefore do not have the means to raise a child properly. She said this ought to be an area of focus for addressing the abortion issue.”https://ndsmcobserver.com/2013/01/law-professor-reflects-on-landmark-case/ …

“‘I think supporting poor, single mothers would be the best way to reduce the number of abortions in the U.S.,’ Barrett said.”https://ndsmcobserver.com/2013/01/law-professor-reflects-on-landmark-case/ …
