Do you remember Richard Honaker? He was President Bush's pick for a lifetime appointment to a federal district court who tried to outlaw abortion three times in Wyoming. Now, Bush is at it again! This time, he and his allies in the Senate are pushing for a new anti-choice nominee as judge on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals: Robert Conrad. Robert Conrad has called Planned Parenthood a "radical, pro-abortion fringe group" that "promotes a radical abortion agenda." What's more, from 1983 to 1986, Conrad served on the board of directors for a so-called "crisis pregnancy center" that provided medically inaccurate information about pregnancy, contraception and abortion. Clearly, he isn't fair-minded – and he doesn't deserves a lifetime appointment as a federal judge! Urge your senators to reject the nomination of Robert Conrad today.
We signed the “Reject President Bush's Anti-Choice Nominee, Robert Conrad” petition!

I believe Planned Parenthood has saved more lives than the Charlottesville Pregnancy Center ever could.

I think abortion is wrong but everybody has a choice to make on their own.

The number of judges should be evenly divided by political party and not to give power to just one party! It is not fair to the people of this country and out right cheating just as the president has done in all he has done since taking over the White House!

We need a nominee who shows the ability to think and make decisions based on existing law, make renegade decisions based on how they think laws should be. This nominee should be removed from consideration from such high-profile positions permanently. Thank you for your time and consideration of my comments.

A moderate judge should be appointed to this position, not someone so biased.

Pres. Bush decries activist judges on one hand, and then he tries to pack the courts with judges who will be activists for his views. We need to keep a balance of conservative and liberal judges. Abortion is never a happy choice, but it needs to be available to those who find themselves in need of it.

Anyone with such a blanant disregard for the truth, honesty, and for womens' rights and their capability to make their own choices is clearly unfit to hold a public office of such gravity.

There are so many situations that having a child can make worse; why would we want someone in office that is not willing to let women decide for themselves if it is time to reproduce? Lets try educating people instead of giving them propaganda, and then allow us to make our own choices. Please, don't let this man, or others like him, have control over our bodies and lives...
