Unlike Alito she KNOWS this is a religious view. He doesn't or simply refuses to set aside.

"I don't know" is a great answer to this question, which is why we basically never hear it.

If you're being a jurist you're not supposed to let your religious views taint your LEGAL opinion. Good on her for not taking the bait.

This is the correct answer for any Justice. This is the definition of standing by the Constitution.

Kennedy didn't ask her a question related to religion.

fwiw abortion laws don't deal with "when life begins" but when a fetus is potentially viable outside of the womb, this is re-writing the framing

FEIW: a woman has a Right to privately make all decisions about her body. That is the original framing. A fetus doesn’t have a right to live until it can do so outside the mothers body. Period.
