Let's hear your brilliant reasons for calling Judge Gonzales "pro-abort."

Apparently, you haven't been paying attention. Gonzales and his fellow judges -- criticized by a true conservative Priscilla Owens -- voted to overturn a lower court ruling giving a minor a judicial bypass and THEN lowered the standard for getting a judicial bypass.

Gonzales has openly stated that Roe is settled law and shouldn't be overturned.

As I heard it the law was vague about what the standard was. Some justices wanted to impose a tighter standard that was not in the wording of the law. He voted against doing so, since that would be legislating from the bench and suggested the legislature should clarify it, not the court. If that is what actually happened, then it hardly makes him pro-abortion.
