I haven’t been on this site in years but so glad I stopped in to see this ACB convo going on!
I’m thrilled to see her nomination. Considering SCOTUS Blackmun referred to abortion rights as “emancipation” for women, I glad that a woman who didn’t need to kill her own in order to be professionally successful is being highlighted. It’s a wonderful refute to the feminist notions that a properly functioning female body is a liability and that motherhood is subjugation.
I hope she is a Constitutional originalist. Afterall, the intent of our founding fathers matters (otherwise, what’s the point of an ever shifting document?). Regardless of where one stands on abortion, there is no right to kill unborn humans in it. The right to privacy speaks to unreasonable searches as what occurred during the Stamp Act. Personal concern played a part in Blackmun’s decision, as his then knocked-up college daughter Sally wished she’d had abortion as an option. Roe v Wade was so wrongly decided that precedent or not, it will not stand. Trump will need to seat another 1 or 2 supremes in order to get the deed done. And for women unhappy about illegal/unsafe abortion, just don’t have one.
ACBs dislike of LGBT rights is very easy to support from both a religious and non-religious/common good standpoint. We don’t need to endorse LGBT in order to affirm their status as children of God and fellow human beings worthy of dignity, value and respect.
Finally, for “Catholics” who don’t accept full church teaching, that’s just Martin Luther Catholicism, aka, protestantism. Intellectual honesty demands a different religious label.
KD should be proud to call such an accomplished woman one of their own.
