Our next Supreme Court justice, ladies

The following is cobbled-together (Frankenstein style) from pieces published by The Washington Post (via Feministing) and USA Today:


The memo about the Los Angeles service for aborted fetuses is part of a pattern in the documents issued yesterday by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library: During his tenure from 1982 to 1986 in the Reagan White House, Roberts staked out conservative positions on a broader array of issues than has previously been known.

He [wrote of] a federal court decision that sought to guarantee women equal pay to men "I honestly find it troubling that three Republican representatives are so quick to embrace such a radical redistributive concept. Their slogan may as well be, 'From each according to his ability, to each according to her gender.' "He wrote that a Supreme Court case prohibiting silent prayer in public school "seems indefensible."


But don't worry, the democrats will fight him. Oh. Except that they won't, really. Time to stock up on morning-after pills, quit those jobs and resign your unconventional religious affiliations, gals.

Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We got to get it together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here and you know it's right

--Thunderclap Newman, "Something In The Air"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Oh yeah, like they would really let us have morning-after pills when abortion is illegal... Washington state is one of the very few states where they are actually obtainable without a prescription and Goddess help you if your nearest pharmacy is located in a goddamn wal-mart (who refuse to stock them whatsoever). I have more vile spewing about this particular topic on my own blog.
