I am a person who likes to be informed and I think it is a "must" in today society.  I have watch for five years the governmental attacks on the rights of most Americans.  The attacks on "Equal Opportunity", "Workers Rights", "Gay Rights", "Legal Rights", "Environment Rights", "Civil Liberties", "Voter Rights", and "Woman's Rights".  I have been active in protesting the governmental attacks on all above rights, but this weekend I had to face something many mothers celebrate.  I, however, was over come by a feeling that I have experienced only once or twice before.  
When my daughter was about a week old my mother wanted to take my baby and me shopping for cloths.  I wasn't much into shopping or being around people, but I understood her desire to get me some new cloths.  Let alone her new granddaughter.  I gathered up the energy to go and rapped my daughter up, as to protect her from the elements, and we ventured out.  As soon as we pulled out of the drive way I felt a felling coming over me.  I couldn't identify it at first, and it was somewhat confusing.  By the time we arrived at the store this feeling had lessened.  I think I was distracted by the anxiety of my mother's driving.  When we entered the store my mother made a bee line to the infant's clothing section.  I, however, was not as fast as my mother, because remember I had just given birth a week before.  I was a few clothing racks separated from my mother when my daughter reveal through crying that I had bundled her too tightly for her satisfaction.  I had stopped to loosen her baby blanket, and I did not notice my surroundings.  Then a movement caught my peripheral vision.  It was two men who had just entered the store.  The two men retain my attention, because they were speaking so loudly.  It was at this point that the "strange feeling" started boiling up inside of me again.  This time there was no repressing it, and for some reason my senses told me I shouldn't try.  The two men were getting closer.  I thought that they were approaching me, and I felt the hair on the back of my neck rise.  I felt my muscles tense up.  A feeling of strength, which I had not felt before, came over me.  Then I thought something that had only crossed my mind once before when my sister was approached by a "Flasher" who exposed himself to her. But this time I must protect my daughter with what ever I could.  I thought that I would have to tear the life from them if they got too close to my daughter. It was if I was a mother lion protecting her cub from the male lions posturing to attack her cub.  I would never think of killing another human being.  I know it was just an instinctive reaction, because I was a mother now.  Subsequently, when this same feeling rose again this weekend after my daughter, 11 years old now, informed me that she had started her "Period".  I struggled to understand why her starting her "Period" could elicit such emotions.  
Maybe I was not prepared to face this "Fact of Life" just yet.  I mean she is only 11 years old.  I was 14 teen years old when I faced this "Fact of Life", and I was hoping the same for my daughter.  I believe that when a young girl starts her menstrual cycle she becomes vulnerable to many more elements of the society.  Are you starting to wonder what this has to do with the governmental attacks on citizen rights listed above?  It is based on the vulnerability of the right's of women in the governmental environment of today.
My daughter's right to be in control of her medical health is under attack via the predigest whims of religious radicals that seem to have a "Hotline" to the president.
 If the president did not put forward a nomination like Mr. Alito his voter base would not support him.  Alito with a judicial opinion, that "Women's Medical Choice", is subject to state control and that the Constitution does not guarantee a woman's right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.  It seems as though the president thinks.  The thirty percent of "counted" 2004 Presidential votes that put him office will not support his presidency if he didn't nominate Mr. Alito.  It is not the protection of our society's Constitution and our daughter's control of their medical health that has persuaded the president to nominate Mr. Alito.  It is the pressure of a single religious group that threatens to make it more difficult for the president to give the tax breaks to the wealthiest, continue an unjustified war, give corporations the ability  to do what every they please, and to take away most civil rights via the Patriot Act.   I don't know any mother that would not feel that, "Mother Lion" come alive with in her if her child was threatened.
This nomination to a life time seat on the Supreme Count of the United States, Mr. Samuel Alito, threatens the life of my child and other daughters by attacking their right to be in control of their medical decisions!

Please think of all those young girls burgeoning on the part of life as a reproductive human, and their mothers who have done everything to protect that life.  You must stop Mr. Alito from tearing down one of the societal elements that protects woman's right to medical choice, by not forwarding his nomination to the Senate for a vote.
