Hey if you thought the wire hanger scene in Mommy Dearest was out there check out Alito's abortion rights record!

As a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, he voted in 1991 to uphold a Pennsylvania law that included a provision requiring women seeking abortions to notify their spouses. That case went to the Supreme Court, where justices used it to reaffirm Roe v. Wade. O'Connor was an architect of the decision that struck down the spousal notification requirement. -AP 10/31/05
