U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett defends her 2022 vote to overturn Roe v. Wade in her forthcoming memoir, "Listening to the Law," arguing that abortion rights were never deeply rooted in U.S. history or tradition. According to Reuters, Barrett frames the court’s role as respecting choices made by the people rather than dictating them. She reportedly also reflects on criticism of her Catholic faith and addresses expanded use of the “shadow docket," saying the court is obligated to act on emergency applications. The book is set to be released on Sept. 9.
