Groups opposing Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court are seizing on a two-page anti-abortion advertisement with her name on it contending “the right to life” begins at fertilization.
The 2006 anti-abortion newspaper advertisement in the South Bend Tribune was posted to Twitter by Brian Fallon, a former spokesman for Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer, who is now head of the Demand Justice group opposing Barrett. It was placed by the group St. Joseph County Right to Life and lists Barrett’s name.
