THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I MADE A NOTE EARLIER THAT SENATOR BLUMENTHAL MENTIONED THAT TO DO THIS JOB THAT YOU ARE BEFORE US WANTING TO TAKE ON -- SMARTS AND PEOPLE SMARTS AND I THINK THAT IS A VERY APPROPRIATE SUMMATION. AND AS WE HAVE SPENT THE PAST FEW WEEKS GOING THROUGH YOUR RECORD, GETTING TO KNOW YOU, READING LETTERS THAT HAVE COME TO YOU, HEARING FROM PEOPLE -- I LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, OK, SHE HAS BEEN RITUALLY BLESSED WITH GOD-GIVEN TALENT AND THEN SHE HAS EXPERIENCES AND EDUCATION AND COUPLING WITH THAT, HOPES, DESIRES, AND A LOT OF DRIVE THAT REALLY MAKE YOU THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE. AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT HOW YOU ARE A FRIEND AND YOU HAVE BEEN A MENTOR. AS ONE OF MY FRIENDS WOULD SAY, I BET YOU FEEL -- YOU ARE THE ANSWER LADY FOR A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT FRIENDS WOULD BRING TO YOU. YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY AND THEY OBVIOUSLY LOVE YOU. I WISH HE COULD SEE YOUR DAD'S FACE. IT IS WONDERFUL. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT HE HAS TAUGHT YOU, ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN REPEATED TIME AND AGAIN IN LETTERS FOR YOU. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW THIS AND IT'S WHY WE CONTINUE TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR VIEWS ON ISSUES. BECAUSE ALL OF THAT GOES INTO FORMING WHO YOU ARE AND YOUR WORLDVIEW. AND IT ALL IS APPLICABLE TO THE JOB YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AND LIKEWISE, THE JOB THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE, AND IT DOES HAVE BEARING ON DIFFERENT ISSUES, AND IT HAS BEEN SO INTERESTING TO ME TO GET TEXT MESSAGES FROM FRIENDS AT HOME THAT ARE WATCHING THIS. I HAVE ONE FROM A FRIEND FROM CHURCH. SHE SEEMS REALLY LIKABLE BUT I'M NOT SURE I AGREE WITH HER ON THE ISSUES. THIS IS SOMEONE WHO IS INCREDIBLY PRO-LIFE AND SHE IS ABOUT MY AGE BUT SHE IS A MOM AND A GRANDMOM. THIS IS A QUESTION THAT IS IMPORTANT TO HER. TO LOOK AT LIFE. AND SENATOR FEINSTEIN TALKED ABOUT THAT WITH YOU A LITTLE EARLIER TODAY. YOU ALSO SAID TODAY THAT IT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE -- INAPPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO SHARE YOUR VIEWS ON ISSUES THAT MAY BECOME -- MIGHT COME BEFORE THE COURT LIKE ABORTION. I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO YOU ON SOMETHING YOU SAID IN PRIVATE PRACTICE. YOU MADE YOUR VIEWS ON PRO-LIFE, IN THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT, VERY CLEAR. AND IN FACT, YOU ATTACKED PRO-LIFE WOMEN. AND THIS WAS IN A BRIEF THAT YOU WROTE. YOU DESCRIBED THEM, AND I'M QUOTING, "HOSTILE, NOISY CROWD OF IN-YOUR-FACE PROTESTERS." AND YOU ADVOCATED AGAINST A WOMAN'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEIR SINCERELY HELD VIEWS REGARDING THE SANCTITY OF EACH INDIVIDUAL LIFE. I AM A PRO-LIFE WOMAN. 79% OF THE AMERICAN WOMEN SUPPORT RESTRICTIONS OF SOME TYPE ON ABORTION. AND SO, I FIND IT INCREDIBLY CONCERNING THAT SOMEONE WHO WAS NOMINATED TO A POSITION WITH LIFE TENURE ON THE SUPREME COURT HOLDS SUCH A HOSTILE VIEW TOWARD A VIEW THAT IS HELD AS A MAINSTREAM BELIEF THAT EVERY LIFE IS WORTH PROTECTING SO HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY THAT INCENDIARY RHETORIC AGAINST PRO-LIFE WOMEN? JUDGE JACKSON:
