Reject President Bush's Anti-Choice Nominee, Robert Conrad
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
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.

Someone who is already anti-family planning, and has his opinions made without listening to individual cases should not be given life-time office - not on my dollar. Rather let him pay for support and upbringing of children from unplanned pregnancies

Any judge who wants to "roll back" rights has no place on our Supreme Court, or any court. Please don't allow this nominee a position on the world's highest court!

As a woman and a mother I believe it is the individuals choice what to do with their body. I could personally never have an abortion, however I am gratefull for that to be my choice. Some people are to young to be parents, or know that they do not have the mental or emotional capacity. We do not need any more unwanted children. To force a woman to have a child will only ensure that more kids are turned out to the foster systems or live a miserable life with a parent that resents their existance. In addition, if abortion is made illegal it will only serve to drive it underground with more coat hanger operations. It will endanger women's health to take away this right. Please oppose this nomination of Robert Conrad. |

Desicions on abortion is no one elses concern except the women whe are considering if it is the correct desicion for them. The government should realize this.

The judicial branch, thus far, has been the place where people's rights have been protected when the other two branches have been run on a majority opinion to inhibit the rights of a minority population (at least in terms of representation). We must maintain a group of judges who are still willing to protect those who have no protection.

Women deserve the right of choice over their own body. No-one should be able to tell a woman she cannot have an abortion, nor must there be any guilt associated with a woman's choice to have an abortion. Also, they deserve to have correct information concerning their choices instead of half-truths, inuendo, or outright falsehood. An anti-choice candidate would not do this, and so should not be awarded a judgeship in this case. |

Let's not step backwards and let one section of the population impose their morals and religion on us. Keep it a choice and let people choose what is best for them and their situation. Choosing NOT to have an abortion is always still an option that some women will make. But choice is the key. It has been the jurisprudence for years - help keep it that way by keeping Conrad OUT!

I watched my mother almost die when she had an illegal abortion. Please don't make women suffer like that again.
