Althouse has said that she ispro-choice and opposes overrulingRoe v. Wade,[4] but has said that she "do[es] in fact thinkabortion is wrong. I think most Americans agree with me and think it's wrong, but not the role of government to police."[5][6]
Althouse voted forGeorge W. Bush in 2004 andBarack Obama in 2008.[7] In January 2009, remarking about Obama, she wrote: "He really is a solid, normal person who remained grounded in the middle of all this craziness. And I like to think that, now that he's President, with his steely nerve, his intelligence, and his groundedness, he'll do the job that must be done. The trickery is over."[8]
In 2009, Althouse announced her engagement to Laurence Meade, a commenter she had met through the blog. The story attracted coverage in the blogosphere and inThe New York Times.[7] Althouse and Meade were married in August 2009.[9] It is Althouse's second marriage; she has two adult sons from her first marriage toRichard Cohen.[7]
