Amy Coney Barrett didn't disclose 2 talks with anti-abortion groups to the Senate

CNN has found another controversial event Amy Coney Barrett didn't inform the Senate about.

After her nomination to the Supreme Court, the Senate asked Barrett to list every talk she had given, as well as provide a transcript of the event. But she failed to mention speaking at two events held by right-to-life student groups at the University of Notre Dame, CNN reports.

Barrett is a professor at Notre Dame, as well as a circuit court judge. She delivered one lecture and one seminar for anti-abortion groups back in 2013, both in her capacity as a professor, CNN reports via social media ads and a faculty newsletter describing the events. The seminar was given "on changes to law and life for women after Roe v. Wade," as part of a series on "issues related to human life and dignity." Notre Dame's Right to Life club and constitutional studies minor co-sponsored the event. The lecture was also about Roe, put on by the Jus Vitae club devoted to the "right to life."

Earlier this week, Senate Democrats questioned why Barrett didn't disclose an anti-abortion ad she'd signed onto in 2006 that called for the Roe decision to be overturned. Democrats have opposed Barrett's nomination not only because it came just weeks before Election Day, but also because Barrett has a conservative judicial outlook and has been tied to anti-abortion groups.

1. That gives me the creeps

“Life for Women after Roe v. Wade.” I guess they’re making big plans on how they’re going to control the future of American women.

Wait till that delusional dog catches up with the pick-up truck. The very empowered women who have come up since Roe v. Wade was decided are going to fight this tooth and nail. We won’t go back.

2. Taking issue.

I don't agree she's anti-abortion. My feeling is that it goes way beyond that. She is the type who would put women in jail for miscarriages or stillbirths. I think she'd even support making birth control pills and condoms illegal or anything else like that.

Of course one never knows what someone will do, but I think that would be her goal.

3. I agree with you

This woman is Handmaid’s Tale material.

4. I am unsure I'd put her out that far

I don't see her as someone who'd support that sort of forced concubines.... forced pregnancy. I don't see her as pushing women out of the workplace etc. But I do think that for her, sex = children. Don't want children? Abstain. Very conservative catholic.

The one place she might get close to Handmaid's Tale territory is with rape. She has the idea that pregnancy from rape is a blessing from God and the poor woman should be forced to endure pregnancy. Same with women in life threatening situations. Barrett, I believe would decide a woman's death to bring a baby to the world is God's will and therefore should be left to God's hand.
