Alito said women seeking abortions should have to listen to distressing details about fetal development as 'part of the responsibility of moral choice'

Justice Samuel Alito, a conservative justice on the Supreme Court, once wrote that the distress patients experience after hearing fetal development information is part of the responsibility of moral choice.

The justices who voted to overturn the right to abortion have been the focus of attention.

The New York Times reported that Alito was one of the justices who voted to overturn the court's decision to allow abortion.

Alito responded to a circuit judge's argument that laws requiring patients to be informed about fetal development prior to an abortion would cause emotional distress.

Alito was a lawyer in the Department of Justice when Ronald Reagan was the president.

Does this mean that women have the right to make decisions that are not in their best interests? Alito penned a letter.

Alito said in 1985 that regulations on abortion should be upheld by courts in order to advance the goal of overruling Wade.

Alito wrote that the Constitution couldn't protect the right to abortion because it was wrong from the beginning.

Alito said the decision had damaging consequences. The abortion issue has not been brought about a national settlement of it's issues.
