Men just don't get it
do they?
My husband made the comment about Alito "He'll be okay. We could have gotten someone a lot worse"
Ummm...no honey we couldn't have...at least not if you are a women of child bearing age.
What we are getting is a rich white male fundamental protestant who believes that HE should get to control women (cause afterall Eve ate that damn apple and the Bible says MEN are in charge)and that the government (made up almost entirely of rich white protestant men) should own and control a womens uterus. Because after all if you control the uterus you basically have control over the lives of women.
Think I am exaggerating about what we as women have to look forward to?

Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr., President Bush's Supreme Court nominee, wrote that "the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion" in a 1985 document obtained by The Washington Times. "I personally believe very strongly" in this legal position, Mr. Alito wrote on his application to become deputy assistant to Attorney General Edwin I. Meese III.

Planned Parenthood v. Casey
He reasoned that married women were a minority of those seeking abortions and married women who didn't tell their husbands a very small minority of those; because only a small percentage of women overall would be affected, the provision did not constitute an undue burden to the right
of abortion in general. His dissent suggests
an inclination to read abortion rights as narrowly as reasonably possible

Yesterday, when you were asked about one man, one vote, you clarified it. You said those were my views then, they’re not my views now.
When Senator Kohl asked you about the power and authority of elected branches as opposed to others, no; you said I want to clarify that’s not my view now.
And yet, when we have tried to press you on this critical statement that you made in that application, a statement which was made by you that said the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion, you’ve been unwilling to distance yourself and to say that you disagree with that.

If there was any doubt about where US Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito stands on abortion, his 90-year-old mother quickly and decisively put that question to rest.
"Of course he's against abortion," Rose Alito told the Associated Press in a telephone interview from her Hamilton, N.J., home
