Promises that Miers will Overturn Roe?

Now, y'all know I don't really like to get into the politics of this stuff, but this just came to me in an email (thanks Sean), and it's from the WSJ, which is really reliable, so I'm putting it up here.

From the WSJ: On Oct. 3, the day the Miers nomination was announced, Mr. Dobson and other religious conservatives held a conference call to discuss the nomination. One of the people on the call took extensive notes, which I have obtained. According to the notes, two of Ms. Miers's close friends--both sitting judges--said during the call that she would vote to overturn Roe.
...
Then an unidentified voice asked the two men, "Based on your personal knowledge of her, if she had the opportunity, do you believe she would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade?"

"Absolutely," said Judge Kinkeade.

"I agree with that," said Justice Hecht. "I concur."


Update: "Miers Supported Abortion Ban (1989)
