Buffalo News - Alito's record a bad omen for women

CLICK TO READ: Buffalo News - Alito's record a bad omen for women by Ellen Goodman

Goodman: "For most of history, wives were owned by husbands, who controlled all their decisions. Their wages, their property, their bodies all belonged to their husbands. Before Roe v. Wade, women in Pennsylvania who wanted an abortion had to get permission from their husbands as well as a hospital review board."

As a Supreme Court justice, nominee Alito would return us to those days.
