Do Roberts' wife's views on abortion reflect his?

From Godspy
…this 33-year-old organization [Feminists for Life] is as committed to the welfare of women as it is to defending the unborn. This is a hard sell in America's balkanized public square, where everything is starkly divided into blue vs. red, ‘pro-choice’ vs. pro-life,’ Democrats vs. Republicans, Anthony Kennedy Catholics vs. Antonin Scalia Catholics… [According to] theologian Ronald J. Sider, president of Evangelicals for Social Action: ‘What this all illustrates is the fact there are many Christians—evangelicals and Catholics alike—who are strong defenders of human life, yet are in no way right-wingers on many other issues…’[Scripps Howards News Service]

I'm watching with interest how
Judge Roberts will be received in the approval hearings. I think he could be making statements as a matter of strategy to avoid being
"snake bit" by anti-C bias--or to be viewed as a pawn of the Bps or the "overturn Roe vs. Wade" movement. I think both he and Dubya are coordinating this approach to minimize hostility to his appointment.
