His sister was not a pro-choice judge. She, along with Alito and the 3rd judge on that court, ruled that the NJ law was unconsitutional. SCOTUS had ruled on an identical law from Nebraska the month before.

Ramesh Ponnuru of National Review
states thusly :
" Maryanne Trump Barry came up in my book
The Party of Death for writing one of those heated judicial decisions
in favor of giving constitutional protection to partial-birth abortion. She called a New Jersey law against it a desperate attempt to undermine
Roe v.
Wade. It was, she wrote, based on semantic machinations, irrational line-drawing, and an obvious attempt to inflame public opinion instead of logic or medical evidence. It made no difference where the fetus was when it expired.

"The other panelists were Judge Leonard I. Garth and Judge Samuel A. Alito, who wrote a separate but concurring opinion. Judge Alito said he favored finding the New Jersey law unconstitutional, stressing that any limits on abortion must have an exception for the preservation of the health of the mother."
And Ramesh's wife works for Jeb's campaign.
There was a whole thread about this on 8/27.

I see now that Trump’s pro-choice judge sister is 78. Obviously too old for a SCOTUS nomination.
Still, we gotta hope that she isn’t a “trusted adviser” once he becomes POTUS!

Trump can do no wrong. Get over it.

Q: Who are the evangelicals supporting Trump?
A: Everyone in our house right now and many of our church friends.
I voted for Romney and he’s deeply entrenched in a cult. I’m more comfortable with a Presbyterian.

A scathing op-ed in The New York Times on Trump and his Christian support... That op-ed was by Frank Bruni. He also wrote: Let me get this straight. If I want the admiration and blessings of the most flamboyant, judgmental Christians in America, I should marry three times, do a queasy-making amount of sexual boasting, verbally degrade women, talk trash about pretty much everyone else while I'm at it, encourage gamblers to hemorrhage their savings in casinos bearing my name and crow incessantly about how much money I've amassed? He personifies greed, embodies pride, radiates lust. Wrath is covered by his anti-immigrant, anti-losers rants, and if we interpret gluttony to include big buildings and not just Big Macs, he's a glutton through and through. That leaves envy and sloth. I'm betting that he harbors plenty of the former, though I'll concede that he exhibits none of the latter. Of course this is an unbeliever taking it upon himself to judge the Church, when he doesn't have the mind of Christ. He's certainly not interested in advising Christians in order to benefit the cause of Christ. And when people pick candidates, it's not so much that they're voting or supporting the candidate, but that they're voting for or supporting themselves. Bible-believing Christians vote Republican, including for Bush, McCain and Romney, in support of our beliefs, which they claim they will work to uphold. It is troubling, though, that Trump is someone who says he has never seen a reason to ask God's forgiveness for anything. The fact that he is in the place he appears to be right now to defend Christian values in America seems possibly like a judgment from God.

Im more comfortable with a Presbyterian. Right! A Presbyterian who admits he doesn't ask God for forgiveness.

“Right! A Presbyterian who admits he doesn’t ask God for forgiveness.”
It’s not the President’s job to ask God for forgiveness. If the Founding Fathers believed that, they’d have instituted a state church. It IS the President’s job to assure that the Constitution is adhered to strictly. If that happens, the Christians “win”.
