feminist 4 eva
I'm mad that anti-choice people stole the phrase "feminist for life" for their crazy biz, cause it would make a really good t-shirt. Although, I guess I could still do Feminist 4-Eva(ala markie mark in "Fear").
All this is to say, that if we have any questions about John G. Roberts views on abortion -- which he seems to have kept mum on over the years -- maybe we should check out wifey. F4Life doesn't litigate anymore, but Mrs. Roberts (who is a lawyer) has offered them pro bono work in the past and helped to "redefine" their mission.
There are so many ways that I wish I could connect with feminists for life -- in that most pro-choice orgs are working to ensure that women have more options (including comprehensive sex education, access to birth control, a more ecumenical world in which they have power over their sexual lives) but they do it so disingenuous. There's a hypocrisy and a stridentness to their actions, their rhetoric, that is so wholly self-righteous that it makes it hard to make connections.
In other SCOTUS news -- John G. Roberts acted as cooperating counsel with the ACLU on a number of different cases. I hate to agree with all the cheesy shiny coverage the guy has been getting, but there does seem to be something less than typical and not easy to characterize about him. We'll see. . . we'll see.

At first I thought her scarf patter was a pin, but even before that, precognitively, you might say, I though she was being attacked by a bug that looked like a hair clip.
As Randi Rhodes put it, "that doesn't mean she wants to be a feminist forever."
