Any justice who gets appointed who is on record saying that abortion is constitutionally protected is not an originalist. Seriously, it seems like people were just waiting to b**ch about the choice, and pay no attention to the facts. Read the quote (and the context) again -- she says that the USSC says that abortion is constitutionally protected, she does not present her own view on the subject, which is only proper in a confirmation hearing.

Hopefully, it's a moot point now that Roberts has been nominated, but she says it's "settled law."
She is signaling that in our precedent-driven legal system, she cannot oppose it.
