Alito By Any Other Name...
Message to all of my pro-choice readers:
First, I am sure that I do not need to say that we have a potentially serious problem on our hands. Samuel Alito is the switch to the conservative time machine. His appointment to the Supreme Court is not only a chance to give that White House clown a Supreme Court legacy, but it is a direct threat to hard won rights.
I've spoken with several people in our pro-choice camp and each and every one was ready to take up the protest should an Alito-included Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. It was good to hear so many people not wishing to take it lying down.
But it is far from enough.
Why wait until it's too late? Why force the issue when abortion is once again made illegal? In the time it would take for smart people to regain positions of authority and give women back rights to their bodies, thousands of women may have to break the law, and perhaps endanger themselves to do so.
If we wait, it is too late.
Find out who your Democrat Senators are. Don't bother with the Republicans, unless they are John McCain. Write to them. Tell them how you feel. Tell them you will not stand for Roe v. Wade being overturned. Tell them that if they fail to respect women's rights when they are faced with Alito's nomination, then they are the enemy.
And never again vote for them. No matter what.
This isn't some little issue. It ties in with all the other threats on our rights that we've experienced since January 20, 2001. In the past five years, many Democrats have acted cowardly in the face of the Bush-led Republican bully. It's time we make them more afraid of us than of the Bush administration.
Remember, if we don't act, we are guilty of letting it happen.
