Samuel A. Alito, a White Catholic male who believes that women can be legally compelled to inform their husbands before an abortion and is nicknamed “Scalito,” has been nominated to replace Sandra Day O’Connor. We can debate whether Roe v. Wade going down would be good for the pro-choice cause in the long run, but no matter what, history won’t look kindly to an all-male majority decision. If confirmed, he would be the fifth Catholic currently on the court. Gee, I wonder if the death penalty will become illegal now? (That’s sarcasm, people.)
