No Right to Abortion, Alito Argued in 1985
The Washington Post recently ran an article discussing Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito's assertion in a 1985 essay that the constitution does not protect abortion. While Alito continues to look apealing to many conservatives, his record continues to reveal opinions and arguments which garner cringes from the left. Alito's views on abortion, afirmative action and gun control often flirt with the extreme right, and seem to indicate that his seat on the bench would be a seat firmly favoring republican ideals.
