WASHINGTON, Oct 11 — Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s pick for a US Supreme Court vacancy, said she will rule based on the law, not her personal views, in prepared remarks issued today ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing this week. A devout Catholic who has a record of opposing abortion rights, Barrett is likely to be probed by Senate Democrats on that issue in particular. If Barrett is confirmed to the position by the Republican-controlled Senate, the court would have a 6-3 conservative majority. Conservative activists hope the court will overturn the 1973 ruling, Roe v. Wade, that legalised abortion nationwide.
