It's my understanding that Alito feels that Roe vs. Wade should be overturned.

The politics here could get real ugly.

If the polls that say a majority of Americans believe in Pro-Choice, and if this really is a country where majority rules, what will it say if Judge Alito is confirmed by the Senate which is supposed to act as the "people" who elected them dictate.

I know that's way to simplistic, but this is an interesting test of democracy -- namely, what's more important, the people's will or politics?
If you're really worried about abortions disappearing, you should look into an over-the-counter medicine that costs $5 and provides an effective abortion.

And the people elected someone to represent them. If they didn't vote to be represented, they were stupid. Those senators that vote, vote for the people.
