(Providence, RI) - Pro-choice advocates are urging members of the U.S. Senate to vote against any Supreme Court nominee who is likely to help overturn Roe versus Wade. At a Kennedy Plaza rally last evening Meaghan Lamarre and other members of the Rhode Island National Organiation for Women said that includes current Bush nominee John Roberts because he argued against Roe versus Wade in the past. Lamarre says Sandra Day O’Connor represented a key swing vote when the case was last challenged and upheld by a 5 to 4 margin. She says a recently conducted poll shows a majority of Americans want O’Connor’s replacement to be someone who will also uphold Roe versus Wade.
