Is Justice Scalia's Wife an Anti-Abortion Pregnancy Counselor?

http://jezebel.com/is-justice-scalias-wife-an-anti-abortion-pregnancy-coun-1566238671

A reliable voice against abortion, contraception, and really anything that doesn't directly promote the welfare of white Christian landowners, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a talk radio absorbing lunatic who thinks Satan is, like, a real guy. He's also married to a woman who once sat on the board of a so-called Crisis Pregnancy Center and may currently work as a "sidewalk counselor" (let's be real: "abortion clinic protester&quot . So why is Justice Scalia allowed to weigh in on a Supreme Court Cases that might directly affect his family?

Not that it matters now because the vote was 9 0. But, really what good is the SC?

No link, but remember she worked for counseling, pro- adoption group. Don't know if she still does. Never have heard boo about Scalia's wife, unlike that horrid Ginny Thomas.

Justice Scalia’s wife, Maureen Scalia, is a Pro-Life Advocate” who, until last Monday afternoon, was listed on its website as a board member of the Nurturing Network, a crisis pregnancy organization. In an email to Salon, Ann Granger, director of communication for the Nurturing Network, stated that Maureen Scalia is a past board member of TNN, but no longer on its board. Granger also stated that she would let the webmaster know to update this information. Soon after, Maureen Scalia vanished from TNN’s current Board of Directors page (though this cache of the page on April 7, 2014, shows her listed on the website). Her TNN profile page is still live, as well.
