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.
