Anthony]] List described Judge Barrett's confirmation as a [[pro-life]] victory: "Judge Amy Barrett’s confirmation is a victory for the pro-life movement as well as for the fundamental freedom of all Americans to live out their faith in the public square,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “In spite of her exemplary qualifications, Judge Barrett was subject to outrageous personal attacks for her Catholic faith from pro-abortion Senators during her confirmation hearing. Those attacks have no place in America, let alone Congress, in the 21st century.”<ref>https://www.sba-list.org/newsroom/press-releases/pro-life-victory-judge-amy-barrett-confirmed</ref>
