The paragraph beginning "A journey of self-discovery:..." mischaracterized Justice Montgomery's stated reason for recusal. He did not say he found "additional information" about "all his anti-abortion activism over the years." Rather, he said it was "additional information related to the parties and respective counsel" that motivated his recusal. Your paraphrase changes the focus of his reason for recusal from his relationship to the parties involved and their counsel to his relationship to the issue itself.
