Amy Coney Barrett, the Trump administration’s supreme court nominee, publicly supported an organization in 2006 that has said life begins at fertilization. It has also said that the discarding of unused or frozen embryos created in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process ought to be criminalized, a view that is considered to be extreme even within the anti-abortion movement.
The revelation is likely to lead to new questions about how Barrett’s personal views on abortion may not only shape reproductive rights in the US for decades to come if she is confirmed by the Senate, but how her appointment could affect legal rights for women undergoing fertility treatment, as well as their doctors.
Religious group scrubs all references to Amy Coney Barrett from its website
In 2006, while Barrett worked as a law professor at Notre Dame, she was one of hundreds of people who signed a full-page newspaper advertisement sponsored by St Joseph County Right to Life, an extreme anti-choice group located in the city of South Bend, which is in the region know as Michiana.
The advertisement, which appeared in the South Bend Tribune, stated: “We, the following citizens of Michiana, oppose abortion on demand and defend the right to life from fertilization to natural death. Please continue to pray to end abortion.”
The statement was signed by Barrett and her husband, Jesse.
In an interview with the Guardian, Jackie Appleman, the executive director of St Joseph County Right to Life, said that the organization’s view on life beginning at fertilization – as opposed to the implantation of an embryo or a fetus being viable – did have implications for in vitro fertilization, which usually involves the creation of multiple embryos......................................

And so it begins. damn
NEW: Amy Coney Barrett signed her name to a full-page ad run by a group that says it believes abortion providers should be prosecuted.
This does not appear to have been disclosed in her questionnaire submitted to the Judiciary Committee.

The ad that Barrett signed her name to was actually a two-page spread in the South Bend Tribune, and the full ad specifically calls for "an end to the barbaric legacy of Roe v. Wade".
This is as clear a position as you'll ever see from a judicial nominee.
Here is the full ad:

So she's already being deceitful? Another reason to not be so hasty to appoint her. Seems enough time for vetting is in the best interest of the voters, not the only consideration is that she's a Trump pick. That alone should be a disqualifier.

Contraception is forbidden.
God put that egg there TO BE FERTILIZED. Therefore IT WILL BE FERTILIZED. YOUR (the woman's) choice is irrelevant, for you are nothing more than a conduit for God. And since YOU may not make the correct decision as to who will impregnate you, WE will make that decision for you.
Just in case you may want to be uncooperative, we will control the movement of every female once menstruation begins. All female children will be closely monitored for the onset. Once your "potential" has been "realized", the necessary surgical procedure will be utilized to prevent any further unwanted pregnancies.
See? Wasn't that simple? A GUARANTEED path to a WHITE MASTER RACE.
Yes, I know this is completely outlandish, but slippery slopes NEVER wind up where they were intended to wind up. More often than not they usually end up plummeting off a cliff into an abyss.
Young people are going to have sex. We can't stop them.
The much more logical and reasonable option would be do the research to find a proven, yet harmless, contraceptive implant for both males and females, which prevents fertilization. This should allow a much healthier attitude towards sex for society, as a whole.
When someone decides they want to become a parent, either alone or with another, he/she/they can have the implant removed. Each party can find a willing partner. Legal documents can be signed addressing lone or joint responsibility.
Then both parties (if that is the decision) can be responsible, rather than the burden falling, more often than not, on the female.
In this way there would never be an unwanted pregnancy, and all decisions related to the pregnancy is/are controlled by the individual(s) and their doctors. And it eliminates a mythical God from the equation.
Of course talk is cheap, and the issue only affects me peripherally, since I am gay, only had sex with a woman once (because I felt I HAD to, to know for sure I was gay), and made the decision (for genetic/hereditary reasons) to NEVER have kids of my own. It was a good decision. I'm quite happy tolerating the little beasts from afar, and for VERY short periods of time.
