Liveblogging NARAL
by Liza Sabater

[UPDATED 12August2005] : I have made a few spacing corrections and added either links or points of references about who said what.

(1) People on your side are attacking this ad. What do you say about that?

[ROX POPULI]
(2) Is this the battle to invest in?

[ THE ORGANIZATIONS ]
This is the swing vote. This is what shifts the court to the right. We could lose Rowe with this vote. This one is important.

"It is factual and it is tough".

There are consequences to the decision in Bray, that's why they are attacking Robets. A rash of violence has come about after Bray.

Roberts sided with the extremists and took away the tools law enforcement had to prevent these attacks to happen.

This is Sandra Day O'Connor's seat and that is why this court appointment is about choice.

The fact of these organizations have [ responded to ] our issues that [ is why ] we have to keep on the table. My job is to argue for women and their right to choose... The criticism is because we have affiliates over the states... You have to talk to the people on the ground and you have to take your criticism to them... We deal with candidates on the national level. Not an excuse just merely a reality... This is the deal it is us and it is them.

[ VARIOUS COMMENTS FROM FELLOW BLOGGERS ]
This is coming from top male bloggers.
Do not rely on frat boys.
Markos says it is a women's issue organization.

This guy [ John Roberts ] defended terrorist.
The majority of Americans support choice.
Anti-abortion is not the same as anti-choice.

This is not just about Roberts, this is about bringing choice back on the table on the political landscape.

A good strategy would be to push for state rights campaigns.

If we work from the POV that Roberts will get the nomination, what do we want?

IRONCLAD PARTY DISCIPLINE! Vote against him, make sure you express clearly how it is imperative to uphold the constitutional right to privacy as the foundation of choice, not just in relation to reproductive rights, but in relations to choose how we live, love, procreate and even die.
