"Roe" Stands for Justice

A brave woman who is making the rest of us look like cowards:

The woman at the center of the Supreme Court’s landmark abortion rights ruling was arrested today at the confirmation hearing for Sonia Sotomayor among a wave of anti-abortion protesters who lined the sidewalks outside the Senate office buildings and several of whom made it into the hearing room and disrupted in an attempt to disrupt the proceedings.

Norma McCorvey, 61, of Texas, better known as “Jane Roe” in the famous Roe v. Wade case from January 1973, was arrested after she and another protester started yelling during the opening statement of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), according to Capitol Police. McCorvey, whose pursuit of the right to access to abortion in the early 1970s led to the ruling that has been a pivotal part of every Supreme Court nomination process since, eventually become a notable opponent of the procedure.

As we’ve said, we can’t stop Sotomayor – only a complete screw up on her own part (unlikely as the Senate Democrats have carefully coached her on what to say, and will put all sorts of roadblocks up against any GOP attempt to get at the truth about her) will derail this nomination…but the bottom line of Sotomayor and all liberal judges is an insane and inhuman defense of Roe…but the wheel is turning, and the time of these liberals is passing.
