Amy Coney Barrett put her name on a newspaper ad that decried the “infamous” 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling and said abortions had killed “55 million unborn children” over four decades, according to a new disclosure by the U.S. Supreme Court nominee.

The 2013 advertisement appeared in the University of Notre Dame’s student newspaper and was sponsored by a faculty group to which Barrett belonged as a law professor, she said in a letter to senators released late Friday.
