Her nickname on the National Review Online blog "The Corner" is "K-Lo", a wordplay comparing her name to the actress and singer Jennifer Lopez ("J-Lo") (but not to be confused with the other "K-Lo", singer Kimberley Locke).

Lopez writes often on abortion and bioethics, religion, feminism, education, politics, and her love for the band Duran Duran, among other topics. Of NRO's writers, she tends to be the greatest defender of "culture of life" issues from a Catholic perspective, and she advocates conservative leadership within the Church. On the U.S. domestic political front, she supported preventing Arlen Specter from replacing Orrin Hatch as head of the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary during the period between the 2004 elections and the beginning of the new Senate term in January of 2005. While the effort was ultimately unsuccessful, it did result in Senator Specter making promises in writing to support President Bush's judicial nominees. Later in 2005 Lopez became a leader of the conservative effort to have the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers withdrawn.
