Roe v. Wade
By Shel Lyons, Mothers' Rights Network October 22, 2009 - 6:00am
Childbirth activists must find common ground with fellow reproductive rights activists, and feel comfortable discussing abortion in order to ensure that birth rights are respected and valued as well.
. . . . .
Surrounded by senators dripping with condescension, Judge Sotomayor responded with respect, nuance and a solid grounding in the law - to the point where the hearings sometimes felt like a high school civics class.
. . . . .
The justices who evaluated Ricci are not "raceless," yet no one suggests their whiteness influences their views on racial inequality. Sotomayor, though, is branded a "racist" because she voted to uphold a lower court decision based on well-established legal theory.
. . . . .
Will the Senate Judiciary Committee ask Sotomayor about her position on Roe's role in protecting all the rights of pregnant women?
. . . . .
A disturbing implication of “abortion reduction” is that our society should more closely monitor women who want abortions and the reasons they want abortions.

Fighting two attempts to ban abortion in South Dakota taught us that the more we engage in discussion about the issues that affect the health and safety of women, the more people understand and honor the complexity of the abortion issue.

In her reader diary, Julie Hollar writes, The New York Times demonstrates how not to report on reproductive rights groups' reaction to the Sotomayor nomination: by going to anti-choice activists to frame the story.
. . . . .
Where does Sotomayor stand on abortion rights?; Oklahoma bans sex-selective abortions.
. . . . .
Sotomayor's trail of opinions paints a picture of a fair-minded, incisive legal scholar who is unafraid to stake out unpopular but legally meritorious positions. Right-wingers are going to oppose her nomination with full force - we would be foolish to do it for them.

Personal choices always involve morality.
