The initial reaction from pro-life groups on the nomination of appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace retiring pro-abortion Justice David Souter is one of opposition. Although she made the right decision in one abortion case, they say she will likely uphold Roe v. Wade, the 1973 abortion case. Obama is the most pro-abort president in history. He has also said outright that he believes Roe v. Wade was a correct decision. Of course he will only appoint a justice who will uphold it.The pro-life opposition centers on Sotomayor's comments from 2005 saying the courts are the place "where policy is made."
Though she once ruled in favor of upholding the Mexico City Policy, pro-life organizations say her comment trumps that decision because she appears to favor Roe and how the Supreme Court made abortion policy by allowing abortions throughout pregnancy for any reason.
