Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett signed on to an advertisement that called for the protection of unborn children while she was working as a law professor at Notre Dame, according to supplemental material that was filed to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday.
The ad was published in a student newspaper and sponsored by the group “University Faculty for Life” of which Barrett was a member. Barrett’s name appeared along with dozens of other university faculty members and staff who signed on to express concern over the 1973 Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion across the nation.
