Replacing Sandra Day O’Connor with Samuel Alito would set women back decades. Alito’s vote would tip the Court’s balance on many issues and take us back to the days:

- when sexual harassment and sex discrimination were “all in a day’s work” for women;

-when women were routinely excluded from law schools, medical schools and elite colleges;

-when there were no female firefighters, and no women on the police force;

-when women could be fired for becoming pregnant, or getting married;

-when employment ads were divided into “Help Wanted - Male” and “Help Wanted - Female;”

-when illegal, unsafe abortions, were the norm, and reliable birth control was outlawed as well.

We are determined not to turn back the clock.
