What does Roberts' wife do?

[friesianrider]

I thought I heard someone say that she heads some anti-abortion group, but can't remember where. I think it might have been on Randi's show today but can't recall...can anyone confirm this?

(my apologies if this has already been discussed)

1. She's on the board of "Feminists for Live" an anti-abortion group

WTF is that supposed to mean? Is "feminist" like their new code-word for Stepford Wife?

Supreme Court nominee Roberts' lawyer wife facilitates global satellite system projects and her firm is targeting Iraq reconstruction

By Margie Burns

July 21, 2005—Yet another first for our boundary-breaching White House: for the first time in American history, we're going to have a justice on the high court whose spouse facilitates financing and putting together global satellite systems.

Also, the firm in which she is a partner, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, emphasizes among other things its expertise in facilitating business in Iraq:

"We offer one-stop service to clients pursuing projects in Iraq, from solicitation and RFP counseling to working with key government and multilateral agencies, and from initially penetrating the Iraqi marketplace to final project implementation. Our attorneys are recognized as leaders in their fields, and at the cutting-edge in a variety of disciplines relevant to Iraq reconstruction. A number have served in senior government positions in key agencies–including the Departments of Transportation, Navy, Justice and Commerce, as well as the Agency for International Development (USAID) and the World Bank."
