Goodbye, Ms. Parks. Hello, Alito?
While the nation bids the last farewell to Rosa Parks, Bush nominated Alito, a known hardcore conservative, to the Supreme Court. The juxtaposition is quite stunning. Ms. Parks was the catalyst who put the Civil Rights Movement in motion, while Alito was someone who once said that a married woman should get the permission from her husband before she should be allowed to have an abortion. So ironic, so sad. All this talk about individual rights is just a sham if a woman is stripped of her right to decide what she could or could not do with her own body.
