SAVE ROE!!!!!!!!!!

[xxcravexx]

I'm sure that everyone knows about O'connor stepping down from the supreme court...but what not many people seem to know is that the next person to be elected to the court has the power in his/her hands to decide what happens to the decision made in 1973 with Roe vs. Wade

The scary thing about John Roberts is his age -- He's only fifty! That means we will be stuck with him for at least 30 more years (probably more).

We need a moderate judge, not a conservative. I hate my representatives -- of course, I do live in Texas. (And boy have we prospered since George took office -- coincidence?)

I'm gonna write call do everything I can to my reps, but I know it won't do much. :\

(Also, women's rights are just the start. Think of all the things that could be undone. "For example, would [Roberts] have voted with the majority to strike down anti-gay sodomy laws in America? Or to declare Colorado's anti-gay Amendment 2 unconstitutional? Neither Clarence Thomas nor Antonin Scalia did -- and that's the kind of appointment Bush promised to make to the Supreme Court.")

yea, it's really scary. I feel so helpless though, it's our country too, and i dont know how old you are, but i'm only 17 and that means that my generation is going to be the generation that has to live with these decisions, and try to make them right.

I'm seventeen also, so that adds to the helpless feeling. We can't do much other than write to people because of our age. :\

If human rights do get screwed over before we have the chance to stop it... can we really make them right in the future? I hope so.

yea..i hope so too.
