re: #9 Walter L. Newton

against supplying US funds to countries to use for abortions

I do feel the need to correct this particular meme. She is not (necessarily) “against” doing that, or “for” the Mexico City Rule; she just wrote an opinion that slapped down a seemingly pretty silly “equal protection” argument that the government couldn’t use the Mexico City Rule. This does not necessarily reflect anything at all regarding her own views on abortion, or even her views on Roe and its progeny. (No pun intended with that “progeny” bit.)
