How will justice nominee shape abortion debate?
Doctors have diverse opinions about abortion, but one thing on which they can agree is that they don’t know for sure where U.S. Supreme Court Justice nominee John Roberts Jr. stands on the issue. In July, President Bush nominated Roberts to fill the seat left open when Justice Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement. Roberts’ voting record on many issues, including abortion, is considered to be unknown. It has left conservatives and liberals wondering exactly where he would fall on the political spectrum if confirmed for the bench.
