Alito memo reveals more anti-choice actions
It just gets worse and worse with this guy!
A new memo written by Alito in 1985 shows that he has been working to undermine choice for years.
The memo, written during Alito’s tenure in the Reagan administration, says that the Justice Department should set a goal of overturning Roe, and in the meantime should weaken the law through state restrictions.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said, “Alito’s memo is a litany of legal strategies designed to undermine women’s reproductive health. He even confuses birth control with abortion and advocates additional restrictions on women’s access to contraception.”
Lovely. Click here to find out more about the memo.

I take contraception for health reasons. Unless this man wants to petition the court for my hospital stays and pay my medical bills, it would be in his best interests to keep his mouth shut.
