Pro-Life Groups Unanimously Back Samuel Alito re Abortion

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Pro-life organizations are unanimously applauding President Bush's selection of pro-life federal appeals court Judge Samuel Alito to replace pro-abortion Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. They say he doesn't have the problems Harriet Miers did on determining where he stands.
. . .
Concerned Women for America expressed its wholehearted support for President Bush's nomination. "Judge Alito has always been one of our top choices for the Supreme Court," said Jan LaRue, CWA's chief counsel. "He has all of the qualifications needed: intellect, knowledge and experience in constitutional law, integrity, competence, humility and judicial temperament."
. . .
Father Frank Pavone, president of Priests for Life, urged the Senate to move forward quickly to hold hearings and a vote on Alito. He welcomed the upcoming debate on abortion. "Some Senators will oppose any change on the Court that would threaten so-called 'abortion rights.' But the American people are already deciding that their Constitution does not permit dismembering children," Pavone said.
