Oppose the Crawford Nomination: he's trying to block birth control, let's block him!
Target: U.S. SenatorsSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
President Bush has nominated Lester Crawford, who helped block attempts to improve womens access to birth control, for the top job at the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
During Crawford's tenure as acting commissioner, the FDA has ignored the recommendation from its own scientific and medical experts and blocked "Plan B", which is an application to make the morning-after pill available without a prescription.
Speak out with two Senate Democratic leaders, Patty Murray from Washington and Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, who are holding up his nomination until the FDA acts on the application.
Urge your senators to join Senators Murray and Clinton and oppose the Crawford nomination.

Why would anyone want to bring human lives into a world that does not want them, or is unable to care for those already here? Over-population is a HUGE problem as it is. And what of the hardships and heartbreaks foisted on single mothers, and an overtaxed social support system? I cannot see that denying access to a pill which would reduce this nightmare in half reflects the will of the people. Keep Crawford out!!!

THE RIGHT TO DECIDE SHOULD BE THE WOMANS CHOICE. WHAT HAPPENS IF RAPE OCCURS? WAITING FOR A PRESCRIPTION WOULD BE TOO LATE.

The fact that we have had access to birth control has benefited everyone. We cannot let someone legislate his own agenda at the detriment of women. Notice is is always "men" who legislate what women must endure.

Please, there are too many unwanted pregnancies. There needs to be all kinds of birth control choices, so that these do not happen. Thank you.

Bad, bad, bad if he is elected. Are men going to start dragging women around by their hair again too?

I believe it is unethical to force your ideology on those who don't share it. Women are not beholden to a man as master as in days of old.
