Alito wrote that Constitution did not protect abortion

I distrust the Washington Times instinctively, but this is interesting. They report that in 1985 Alito stated the following:

...his statements against abortion and affirmative action might cause him headaches from Democrats and liberals as he prepares for confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, scheduled for January.

"It has been an honor and source of personal satisfaction for me to serve in the office of the Solicitor General during President Reagan's administration and to help to advance legal positions in which I personally believe very strongly," he wrote.

"I am particularly proud of my contributions in recent cases in which the government has argued in the Supreme Court that racial and ethnic quotas should not be allowed and that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion."

More evidence that he is a conservative idelogue, not a trained rational attorney who follows law and precedent. He rather clearly is not a person a modern America wants on the Supreme Court.
