Just When Things Are Going Right

With the confirmation of Justice Alito, South Dakota has now passed an anti-abortion bill, and Mississippi is following suit. If you want to see Roe vs. Wade overturned, whether for constitutional reasons (which I share) or for religious or moral reasons, this action by the state of South Dakota is a big mistake.

In the first place, the addition of Alito, by itself, did not change the liberal vs. conservative balance on the Supreme Court.

At best, we are one vote short of overturning Roe. The timing on this is not right. One need one more vote. With Kennedy, the best we can hope for is upholding parental notification and partial birth abortions.

Actually, by the time this bounces around all the appeals courts, there could easily be 2 or 3 more Bush appointments on the SCOTUS.
