In an ironic twist of fate, the same day that Alito is confirmed is the same day that Sarah Weddington, the lawyer who successfully argued Roe v. Wade in front of the Supreme Court, spoke at my school. I went to the talk, and I loved it. She said that she was melancholy today, and one would think it is because she feels her life's great accomplishment is in danger of being over-turned, but that's not it. It's because she can see the rights she fought so hard to have expanded are beginning to narrow after 33 years. It's because she believes adamantly and strongly that people have the right to make their own decisions. The government should not make them for them. Fundamentally, outlawing abortion is the same as a law that makes it illegal for a black man to marry a white woman because it takes away a person's right to make that decision. But politics is all about having the votes, and with Alito on the bench, there's a very good chance "they" have the votes. Dr. Weddington ended her talk by saying most of us there were not even born when on Jan. 22, 1973, the case was decided, so we have never known what life was like
before
Roe v. Wade, and she hopes we never do. And she hopes we never have to know what life is like
after
Roe v. Wade.
