The revelation will put pressure on some Republican senators who are facing tough re-election battles, including Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who has said she is pro-choice.

In a statement to the Guardian, the White House said: “As Judge Barrett said on the day she was nominated, ‘A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold.’”

The statement appears to reflect an acknowledgment that Barrett’s personal views on abortion could hurt her chances at confirmation.

St Joseph County Right to Life is considered an extreme anti-choice group by pro-choice activists in South Bend.
