NARAL, LET IT GO

OVERTURN ROE v. WADE

So the NARAL Pro-Choice America group gave in to pressure and is withdrawing its television ad that linked John Roberts to violent anti-abortion activists? That’s good.

We, the progressive, clear thinking segment of the population need to use our heads a little on this Supreme Court nominee of Bush’s. We need Roberts to be selected to take the place of Sandra Day-O’Connor and hope that he is that final vote in overturning Roe v. Wade.

Most people are under the mistaken assumption that overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade case would make abortion illegal in this country. It would not. Overturning Roe v. Wade would merely give the decision back to the states and that’s when Democrats and Independents can finally rid themselves of Republican control of government. State and federal.

Polls consistently show that Americans, by a 2 to 1 margin, support Roe v. Wade but you would never know that by what you hear on TV or radio or by reading the newspaper. The general impression is that the country is evenly divided on woman’s constitutional right to choose an abortion. That is a lie.

Please confirm John Roberts and please let him finally be that 5th vote in overturning Roe v. Wade.

Sure, Republicans will always have Mississippi, Alabama, Utah and probably Indiana, but who cares?

When the people of those purple states realize that ‘sis’ could go to prison (or worse) for something they currently feel should be a woman’s right, they will be forced to vote Republicans out of office and then the country can get back to prosperity and freedom.

So, let’s hope John Roberts gets selected to the Supreme Court and let’s hope he’s lying when he say’s he would respect the precedent of Roe v. Wade.

Go ahead, overturn it. Make my day!
