Steven Colloton

Pro-choice Republicans and the Federalist Society appear to be lining up behind Steve Colloton now, and are pushing him to be nominated to the Supreme Court.

Colloton has two court decisions in favor of the pro-abortion side, and another decision in which Colloton wrote a separate concurrence to dilute a pro-life decision by the court. In addition, Colloton took the unusual step of overturning a condition of probation imposed by a federal district court to stop a career criminal from continuing to father out-of-wedlock children, after the criminal had fathered ten such children with seven different mothers. United States v. Harris, 794 F.3d 885 (8th Cir. 2015).

Colloton's father, John Colloton, held leadership positions at multiple entities that perform or fund abortions.

Colloton is being promoted by pro-choice Republicans and interest groups because he is not going to be pro-life, and will not overturn Roe v. Wade.
