The National Women's Law Center conducted an extensive review of John Roberts’s public record, concluding that it reflects an approach to the law that limits and narrows women’s core constitutional and statutory protections in three critical areas:  the constitutional right to privacy; constitutional and statutory protections against sex discrimination; and the power of Congress to protect the public safety and welfare along with citizens’ access to the federal courts to enforce their rights.  Women across the country rely on these core protections and would suffer serious setbacks if they were limited and weakened.
