The Impact of Alito (could stop baby-killing!!!)
NewsMax.com ^ | 2 February 2006 | Susan Estrich

Posted on 02/01/2006 7:31:12 PM PST by Aussie Dasher

Now that Sam Alito has been confirmed, the pro-choice movement in America needs to take stock. The effort to stop Alito was a colossal failure.

The opportunity to educate the public about the tenuous state of abortion rights in America was utterly lost in a confusing Senate strategy that at one moment focused on Alito's club memberships, at another on his investments and hardly ever on the likely future for women in this country. But the senators alone cannot be blamed.

The pro-choice movement was in many respects no more effective than the senators in reaching women - despite repeated claims that Roe was at risk, most women remained ummoved. There was no outrage, little pressure and nothing resembling an effective grass-roots movement to stop Alito.

Part of the reason, no doubt, is because the women with the most political clout in this country do not feel vulnerable to Sam Alito. To a very large extent, they are right. But that is not a good enough reason for their apathy.

Even if Roe were to be overruled, women in blue states along the two coasts would be unlikely to see any major changes in their rights, or in access to abortion. The decision as to abortion rights would shift back to each of the states - in states with pro-choice majorities or super-majorities in the legislatures or pro-choice governors, protection of abortion rights would be afforded by state law, or even by the state Constitution.

My husband thinks they tightened her vocal chords because she doesn't sound so raspy now.

You can paint and powder a sows ear, and you can nip and tuck it - but inside the same old PIG still resides.

While Susan whines, she never bothers to acknowledge that 58% of Americans (the ones who vote) ARE ANTI-ABORTION!! And .. unlike years ago .. there are many, many methods for PREVENTING PREGNANCY .. so there is no need for killing the baby anymore. THERE IS A BETTER WAY!!!

But even more than abortion being abolished - which I believe will let loose a spiritual awakening and prosperity renewal in America .. Rush mentioned something this week about Roberts not being happy with CFR - and Rush believes it will be gutted.

If that happens .. the dems will be in a major hurt for the elections, because it may have some effect on the 527 money. And .. the other effect will be the 527's will not have the power they did have.

What I find interesting is judges and courts have convicted people for the death of a baby in the womb. But .. nobody seems to realize the "fetus" has just been recognized as a PERSON in those cases.

I don't see as how there is such a big leap to get to stopping abortions. If the states want to allow it - let them. And you can bet it will be the blue states that will do that - fine. But the NATION as a whole cannot support abortion and survive.

I guess we're old fashioned. We've mated to induce two pregnancies. Otherwise we do otherwise. In thirty-six years of marriage, we have produced two very beautiful children. This entire abortion issue is so tiresome. People need to be accountable for their genitals.

We are sick and tired of this ABORTION issue.

More people (like Cindy Shithan) rant and rave about this than national security.
