Republican pro-choice group opposes Alito
The Republican Majority for Choice (RMC) regrettably announces its opposition to the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.
RMC is an organization whose core mission is to protect the right to choose as outlined in Roe v. Wade and to represent the millions of Republicans who strongly support this right. After much research and analysis of Mr. Alito’s own record and statements on this issue of individual freedom it is clear that he is an advocate for further restricting this right.
Judge Alito seems by all measures to be an experienced and capable jurist, but one who is out of step with mainstream Americans on the issue of abortion and maintaining the legal right to choose.

Good stuff. Let’s face it--Alito hasn’t quashed anyone’s fears about his very obvious anti-choice stance. Alito has not distanced himself from his previous statements on Roe and has been nothing but evasive. His confirmation would be devastating for women’s rights.

It's amazing to me, because once upon a time, the Republicans used to support a limited role for government. Now they want to have their hands in every decision we make.
Does anyone honestly believe that judges like Scalia and Thomas will allow the abortion decision to go back to the states? Do they believe that every state will make a good decision, or that the women who choose to travel will not be penalized in their own state for actions they did elsewhere, if they could manage it?
Supreme Court judges don't just follow precedent, they set it. And the anti-choice extremists running ll the branches of government are, well, the majority. They can do what they want if we don't fight back, and most of America, apparently, is either too lazy or are Bush supporters.
Have some interest in the political process! They make all your decisions!
