Documents released Wednesday show Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito advocated slowly undoing the legalization of abortion during his stint as a government lawyer twenty years ago. In an internal Justice Department memo he wrote in May 1985, Alito described a high court review of two abortion-related cases as “an opportunity to advance the goals of bringing about the eventual overruling [of Roe v. Wade]… and in the meantime, of mitigating its effects.”
