Roe V Wade doesn't matter

Last July, I wrote about replacing Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

All I know for certain is that we have spoken for years in this country about Roe v. Wade as the litmus test for the court appointments. Would this person uphold it or overturn it? But should this particular litmus test matter?

As Samuel Alito inches closer to SCOTUS (clearing the US Senate Committee on a party line vote today), I encourage pro-choice readers to read why it isn't that big of a deal.
