From a judicial perspective, it really isn't about "approving of abortion".
The real issue is this -- Is this a proper concern of the federal government?
I'm pretty sure Gorsuch will be willing to overturn Roe and push the question down to the states where it belongs.
Look, we have to trust President Reagan on this. Reagan ran as a pro-life candidate who would appoint judges that will overturn Roe v. Wade and I believe him. Whether Sandra Day O'Connor believes in abortion or not is irrelevant. Whether her personal views are conservative is also irrelevant. She said she is a strict constructionist and does NOT believe in legislating from the bench. Such a judge could NOT rule to uphold Roe v. Wade, since the constitution is silent on abortion and leaves it up to the states. We MUST confirm O'Connor to SCOTUS immediately so she will send abortion back to the states!
