Sotomayor and Abortion

Supreme Court hopeful (one of the Supremes), Sonia Sotomayor was on the Board of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund that submitted an amicus brief affirming a fundamental right to an abortion. 

The brief states, "All Amici share an urgent concern that the Court clearly and unequivocally reaffirm Roe v. Wade... They fear that any tampering with the right to abortion recognized in Roe will have a powerful, adverse impact on the liberty, equality and health of poor women and women of color."

The brief also argues that laws requiring abortions to be performed in hospitals would place undue burden on minority and low income women seeking abortions.                                                                                                                                             

First La Raza, now an Amici brief, what else is necessary for her true beliefs to be revealed? How about the meeting last week with pro-abortion senators Dianne Feinstein(D-Calif),Ron Wyden(D-Ore) and Olympia Snowe (R - MA), who all agreed that Sonia made it very clear she would not favor overturning Roe v. Wade?
