EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF JUDGE SONIA SOTOMAYOR’S IDEOLOGY
By By: Brian J. Barnes and Jesse Williams, Edited by Barrett DukeSanctity of Human Life
While Sotomayor has come down on the right side on some of her peripheral cases dealing with pro-life issues,
she has never dealt with a pro-life case directly. Thus her personal record is much weightier than her judicial
record in determining where she stands on the issue. The assurances from those close to her and her many years
working with the Puerto Rican Legal and Education Fund suggests that she is very pro-choice. This combined
with the fact President Obama, who supports unfettered abortion, appointed her makes a strong case against
Sotomayor’s pro-life potential. The core question is whether she thinks abortion is a Constitutional right. It is
likely that Sotomayor would not favor a case that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
