Roberts said - "so-called 'right to privacy.' "

Since the right to privacy underpins much of the reproductive legal decisions, and since Roberts will soon be sitting on the Supreme Court, it is time to say bye bye Rove, and so long contraception.

In 1981, while working at the Justice Department, Roberts had referred to the legal underpinnings of a woman's right to an abortion as the "so-called 'right to privacy.' " Later, as a deputy solicitor general in President George H.W. Bush's administration, Roberts would co-author an administration Supreme Court brief arguing that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be overturned.
