Nominee's wife aided local anti-abortion group

BY DION LEFLER

The Wichita Eagle


The wife of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts once helped to start an anti-abortion group in Wichita, according to the former president of the group.

Jane Sullivan Roberts, a lawyer, assisted the Wichita chapter of Feminists for Life in setting up its nonprofit corporation status, said Lisa Bellecci-St. Romain, who was president of the group in the early to mid-1990s.

Jane Roberts was a volunteer member of the national Feminists for Life's board of directors from 1995 to 1999. She has provided legal assistance to the organization and been recognized as a contributor who donated from $1,000 to $2,500, according to a Los Angeles Times report.

Sherrin Foster, president of the organization, told the Times that Jane Roberts maintains her ties by writing for the group's quarterly newsletter and offering legal advice.

1. Woman like this probably never had to risk their lives to give birth.
All their births were probably fairly easy and routine.

I've had two children, one of them almost killed me. I'm serious I was 15 minutes away from dying due to blood loss and they couldn't give me blood. I wanted the baby but I can understand if a woman says, oh wait I might die, I think I don't want to carry this fetus. Not everyone can survive knowing you could die at any moment. My chances were 50/50 of surviving. Not every woman can bear the pressure of eminent death.

Guess what kids? If I had opted for an abortion it would have been one of those horrid late term abortions these crazies are always screaming about.

I had a choice, I could risk my life and try to give birth or I could abort the fetus. If I had been forced to carry the fetus, given no choice, my sacrifice would have meant nothing. It would have had no value, because I would have been forced to carry the fetus.

There is no honor in a forced sacrifice; There is no honor when there is no choice.

3. Really???
No wonder, she wants everyone else to have babies for her. That way she takes none of the risk and gets your child in the bargain. Self centered, little rich girl.

4. Do you mean anti-choice?
Everyone is anti-abortion. Wingers are anti-choice.
