Barrett in new book defends overturning Roe v. Wade

Justice Amy Coney Barrett argues that overturning Roe v. Wade aligned with public opinion and constitutional interpretation despite growing national support for abortion rights, according to her memoir.

  • Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett defended her 2022 vote to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that recognized a constitutional right to abortion in a new book set to be published next week.
  • Barrett writes the right to end a pregnancy was never deeply rooted in U.S. history as were other implicit constitutional rights, dismissing the view of the liberal Dobbs dissenters who cited that the precedent 'protected the liberty and equality of women.'
  • Barrett refers only in passing to Trump, and she writes dispassionately that the court has always been entangled with its times, reportedly securing a $2 million advance for her book published on the conservative Sentinel imprint of Penguin Random House.
