[A] judge or a candidate for election or appointment to judicial office shall not … with respect to cases, controversies, or issues that are likely to come before the court, make pledges, promises or commitments that are inconsistent with the impartial performance of the adjudicative duties of the office….”

When defending the rights of innocent babies, one should consider the Moral Code of God ahead of the "ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct."

Would Judge Roberts stay mum on his view of murder, since a murder case might come up to the Supreme Court?

Do you want the guy to get himself Borked????

You really are just as bad as a liberal. You just want Roberts to be a "judicial activist" for your position. Again, it's not his job to "defend babies." It's his job to apply the law, not to decide what he thinks the law should be. Of course, he may ultimately vote to overturn R v. W. So why would you criticize him for not voicing an opinion on future cases, when voicing that opinion would most likely lead to his non-confirmation?
