Thanks to fucking John Roberts and the politicans who are going to vote for him (including democrates) It's almost certain that he is going to be confirmed Well us women won't have the right to choose anymore, hell he'll make birth control ( already threatened ) illegal too. The women's movement of any kind will be no more.
Roberts wants to overturn Roe vs Wade. He'll probably make birth control illegal but keep condoms legal so men can protect themselves from diseases.
I mean can you believe this bastard?! He hates women so of course that's why he's doing all of this. Can you believe we have to worry about this in this day of age?! You already have pharmicist and doctors denying women of the pill. Like I was last year.
I wouldn't be so quick to panic. Most republicans say they want to overturn Roe VS Wade, or so they say, but they don't. It's one of those the things that politicians just bring up do distract people from the issues, but don't actually do anything about.
John Roberts on abortion. (from wikipedia) Roe v. Wade In his Senate testimony, Roberts acknowledged that, on the Circuit Court, he would have an obligation to follow precedents established by the Supreme Court, including the controversial decision invalidating many restrictions on the right to an abortion. He stated: "Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land...There is nothing in my personal views that would prevent me from fully and faithfully applying that precedent, as well as Casey." [10] (See John Roberts Supreme Court nomination and hearings for speculation about Roberts' current views and the potential impact they might have during his 2005 confirmation hearings and, ultimately, the Supreme Court.) During the years of Day O'Connor (who was a conservative) the vote on Roe v. Wade was 6 to three in favor of it, even if Roberts was viamently pro life, it would still be 5-4 in favor of of Roe v. Wade. [size=-1] Rehnquist was an arch conservative and sought to overturn Roe v Wade for years, so his death will add nothing to the equation. Roe v. Wade is safe. [/size]
OMG please tell me that won't happen. Someone stop an ignorant self righteous asshole sweeping aside such hardwon and vital freedoms of women, don't let him drag us back to the dark ages. If he's so fucking pro life he can grown his own womb and go through childbirth every nine months for twenty odd years. In the unlikely event of that not happening... butt out, jackass. I'm British of course, but this is a point of principle. For whom the bell tolls and all that. Pansy does have a disturbing point.
One thing to think about. Birth Control makes the drug industry a LOT of money. Many of Bush supporters are Drug Industry owners and stock holders. I think that making birth control illegal, (hich is not currently being studied in any detail and makingn the drug industry PURE profit with no money spent on research) would have a major impact on the Drug Industry's profits. I hope it doesn't happen.
