Obama Nominates Sonja Sotomayor for SC Justice

It would be hard to believe that this nominee would have been chosen had she not given some indication that she would support Roe v Wade.  As far as her record dealing with cases related to the abortion issue, news sites (beliefnet and others) are highlighting that she ruled against pro-abortion litigation in those cases, of which there were two:

First, in Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush, she actually ruled against the pro-choice group on Constitutional grounds.

Second, in Amnesty America v. Town of West Hartford, she ruled in favor of the rights of anti-abortion protestors.

Of course, there will be a lot more information coming in.  We will keep you posted.
