Verdict in on Sotomayor?

I've indicated before some uncertainty about Supreme Court justice-nominee Sonia Sotomayor's leanings on the Life issue.

The organization Americans United for Life has done deeper research, and they speculate that not only will Sotomayor be pro-abortion, she will be worse than David Souter, the Justice she would replace.

Follow the link to see the full argument, but their conclusion is based on three premises:
1. Judge Sotomayor was a governing board member of an organization that actively pushed the Supreme Court toward a radical expansion of abortion rights.
2. The PRLDEF briefs indicate Judge Sotomayor would be more pro-abortion than Justice Souter.
3. The White House, pro-abortion Senators, pro-abortion organizations, and former associates of hers agree that Judge Sotomayor would support abortion rights.

Since it is unlikely that judge Sotomayor's nomination will be defeated, I guess all we can do is hope that AUL is wrong about her.
