In her hearings today, Sotomayor testified that Obama did not ask her views on abortion before nominating her to the Court:

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor declined repeatedly at Senate confirmation hearings Wednesday to disclose her views on abortion rights, and said President Barack Obama never asked her about the issue before he chose her for the bench.

Given that Sotomayor's views on abortion are not clear from her judicial record, doesn't the failure of the President to seek out her views on the issue at least undermine the meme, much repeated by Catholic conservatives during the campaign, that Obama would be the most radically pro-abortion President since Roe was decided?
