The abortion rights group NARAL ProChoice America says it's endorsing Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
NARAL says Sotomayor's testimony during her confirmation hearings shows President Barack Obama's first high court choice is a stronger supporter of privacy rights than either Chief Justice John Roberts or Justice Samuel Alito, the previous two nominees. And the group notes that Sotomayor also said several times that privacy rights include a woman's right to choose to terminate a pregnancy.
