Speculation is that she is pro-life, no one knows for sure since she has not ruled from the bench on the topic. If true, will people switch sides on abortion or their support?
Oh, good question! Abortion has been the litmus test for potential scotus nominees - no doubt it will be brought up during the confirmation hearings.
If she is prolife I think that there are going to be quite a lot of conflicted partisans who will not know what to do with themselves

Fair question. I think that one can espouse viewpoints that both sides find agreeable. While its doubtful she would vote against ones right to choose, if she were pro life it would have no effect on my support.
She is a remarkable story, a woman, a Hispanic, and a product of public housing in Brooklyn who went to Yale and Princeton.
That people like Rush Limbaugh and Tom Tancredo oppose her tells me that white, racist, right wing males will oppose her, and this, in turn, garners my immediate support. Thank God John McCain/Sarah Palin/Christian conservatives have no say in the choice, they can only makes themselves look foolish in opposing her
Personally, I would be THRILLED if she were pro life.
