A Little Alito (Pt 2)...(and Sheri's Weekly Rant)

The New York Times leads with documents that strongly suggest interest by SCOTUS nominee Alito to end the Roe v Wade era. Personally, I believe that this is a policy that Alito would love to pursue, and should he prevail, that would issue in the next era of alley abortions. It literally takes an act of God (i.e. a death) before the government will step in and come to the aid of suffering, viable children, but mention a 1st trimester-fetus that would not last the night outside a human body and here comes the cavalry. Adoption as an alternative? What are the odds that the child will be adopted? No, after they force more children into the world, they take the stance of "if you didn't want to take care of it you shouldn't have had it." Not to mention Pro-Life movement does not advocate any realistic proactive pregancy prevention measures. Oh, wait...they promote abstinence. Maybe if we all abstained from sex we can dry that group out of the gene pool.

If the zealots of the religious right had their way, women would be stripped of all their rights (including the vote) and be barefoot, pregnant and allowed out of the house only to go grocery shopping. If Alito is confirmed there is a real possibility this may actually happen.

Yes I think he will vote to make abortion illegal. This is such an emotional issue that I usually refrain from spouting my position. I used to be against all abortion. Then just rape and incest. Then it came down to who is really in control and our long societal oppression of Women. So I do reluctantly agree that abortion should be legal.
I also think a few Billion that we spent in Iraq performing retro-active abortions by the thousands could have been better spent on our children and preventing child bearing child.
Want to know what happens when the Government spends MILLIONS and forgets to secure the Domain name?
