from "Alito Argued to Overturn Roe in 1985 Memo" NYTimes

''While abortion involves essentially the same medical choice as other surgery, it involves in addition a moral choice, because the woman contemplating a first trimester abortion is given absolute and unreviewable authority over the future of the fetus,'' Alito wrote. ''Should not then the woman be given relevant and objective information bearing on this choice? Roe took from the state lawmakers the authority to make this choice and gave it to the pregnant woman. Does it not follow that the woman contemplating abortion have at her disposal at least some of the same sort of information that we would want lawmakers to consider?''

The key sentence there - "Took from state lawmakers". Took. Taken. Stolen. So to infer, Alito is of the opinion that a woman is not the person who should judge the future of her self and her responsibilities. It's a decision for lawmakers. Lawmakers who, obviously, aren't the ones who will give birth. Lawmakers who, apparently won't be responsible for raising a child for the next 20 years.

It's astonishing that Alito has achieved so much with an attitude that women are less than capable to make a decision that will impact their lives. It's clear that he thinks of women as less than sufficiently intelligent, probably undeserving of the right to vote or own property.

And he wants to take the place of Judge O'Connor.....

Technically, he's wrong. Roe took the decision from state lawmakers and gave it to federal courts. Women had the decision taken from them by the state lawmakers years before.

You want descriptions? Get a dictionary. Better go waste time reading the news or play some games on Yahoo or MSN or some shit like that.
