Entry: No, McCain Won't End Abortion Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/mccain_wont_end_abortion#22015 Post contents: Woody Jones is exactly correct on the reliability of judges. It is useful to remember that before Anthony Kennedy voted to uphold Roe v Wade, he was widely viewed, across the ideological spectrum, as a solid vote against Roe. For that reason, I think it is a mistake to assume that Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito will vote to overturn Roe, although of course I hope they do. Bill Clinton openly declared that he had a pro-Roe litmus test for Supreme Court appointments. Unless we have a president willing to impose an anti-Roe litmus test, we really cannot be certain that the justices he appoints will end up ruling the way we want them to. Sent at: 2008 08 21
