WILL O’CONNOR’S REPLACEMENT OVERTURN ROE?

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 6, 2005 07:54 AM

According to Brendan Nyhan, Feminist Majority president Eleanor Smeal is the latest liberal to spread the myth that Sandra Day O’Connor’s replacement will overturn Roe v. Wade. In an e-mail to her supporters, Smeal writes:

This is it! The worst has happened with the resignation of Sandra Day O’Connor. Let there be no mistake about it: Sandra Day O’Connor was the 5th vote that was saving Roe v. Wade. Abortion rights, access to birth control and women’s rights are on the line. O’Connor was also the key vote for educational opportunities, Title IX, and affirmative action.

As Nyhan points out, “five other justices currently on the court support the core finding of Roe. Smeal is wrong.”
