While American’s focus on the Iraq War, a Supreme Court justice is being decided. The Radical Wrong want to slip this anti-abortion pro-corporate crony through the system while no one is looking.
The Washington Post has a current blog on the prevailing views toward Alito. Check it out! You may even see the following comment:
It is absurd to assume that the America of ’81 or even ’85 is the same America today. Times have changed, and the polls suggest a noticeable shift in public opinion towards Roe v. Wade. The Democrats have every right to defend the majority viewpoint, and I would hope they would defend other controversial decisions that have become the law such as Miranda or civil rights laws.
The conservative right wing will pull out any excuse to achieve their objective. This LaRue article is another classic case of politics as usual and the constant focus on the tactical battle, rather than the overall strategy.
The bottom line is that the Radical Right want to overturn Roe v. Wade, and will stop at nothing to do so. The Democrats should stick to their guns and hold their ground on what is a law that most American’s have come to accept.
If the Radical Right believe in stopping abortion, they should come up with a way to convince others of their view, rather than cram it down America’s throat. Sell your idea! Freedom is the American way!
