Judge Roberts Answers Questions w/Non Answers

AssocPress: As Senators Biden and Kennedy chipped away at Judge Roberts' answers that at times were non-answers, pro-choice advocates say this: "John Roberts failed to state whether he believes the right to privacy includes a woman's right to choose as recognized in Roe v. Wade," said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Yes, and that seems to me to be the lynchpin of why a freako like Troy Newman, prez of Operation Rescue said: "We're concerned about these statements, but the proof will come when it's time for him to rule on these cases as a justice." After the morning session, Sen Schumer (D-NY) seemed to have his head out of his ass when he characterized Roberts' answers this way: "There's precedent and then there's overruling precedent. That's pretty much his answer on Roe." Keeping a woman's right to decide her own personal & private medical decisions rates up there as so important that we cannot afford any shocking changes of heart later when the effects can be devastating.
