The man who wrote the draft supreme court opinion overturning Roe v Wade is known for his quick temper and ‘traditional’ values
For a member of one of the most august and venerable institutions in American public life, Samuel Alito has provoked an astonishing outpouring of jarring adjectives this week. “Appalling and heinous” – Vanity Fair; “acidic and extreme” – Slate; “dreadful and repugnant” – the Washington Post; “scathing and dismissive” – Los Angeles Times.
The strong words were directed at the draft ruling written by Alito and leaked to Politico that, barring a possible but unlikely change of heart by any of Alito’s conservative peers on the US supreme court, will eviscerate federal abortion rights in America.

Alito can shove his traditional values up his backside. They are not our traditional values.

May I suggest reading the draft in its current form rather than delegating your right to think to any institution. The draft is 98 pages and the original laws is almost 50 pages.
