Reject President Bush's Anti-Choice Nominee, Robert Conrad

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored 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.

Dear Senator [Name],

As your constituent, I urge you to reject Robert Conrad, President Bush's nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

Conrad has a clear anti-choice record. In 1988, Conrad wrote an op-ed piece for The Charlotte Observer in which he labeled Planned Parenthood a "radical, pro-abortion fringe group" that "promotes a radical abortion agenda."

From 1983 to 1986, Conrad served on the board of directors for the Charlottesville Pregnancy Center, an organization seemingly modeled as a so-called "crisis pregnancy center" (CPC). Many CPCs intentionally misinform and mislead women who are seeking pregnancy-related assistance by providing medically inaccurate information about pregnancy, contraception, or abortion. In fact, the Charlottesville Pregnancy Center's website includes anti-choice propaganda like, "Remember that abortion doesn't erase a mistake - it only adds new ones."

[Your comment here]

I urge you to carefully review Conrad's record and oppose this nomination should it reach the Senate floor for a vote.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

Any person with a history of involvement with organizations that deliberately deceive vulnerable people should in no way be part of the justice system.

A JUDGE DOES NOT TAKE SIDES BUT FOLLOW THE RULE OF THE LAW. IF HIS PERSONAL VIEWS IS USED TO WEIGH HIS DECISIONS HE CANNOT IN GOOD CONCIENCE BE CONSIDERED FOR THE JUDGESHIP POSITION. ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT IF ENOUGH OF THESE LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS ARE APPOINTED TO OFFICE THEY WILL HAVE THE LEGAL PRECEDENCE TO OVERTURN THE RULE OF THE COURTS SINCE THE 1960'S AND OVERRIGHT A WOMANS RIGHT TO CHOICE IN REGARDS TO ALL ISSUES THAT AFFECT WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

There should be no judges with an opinion one way or the other...they should be like Switzerland, neutral and make sure that none of their personal opinions get in the way of their judgement. Period.

Bush, every one of your administration's appointments to lead administrative agencies has either been 1) someone who worked for the corporations being regulated for the welfafe of all Americans, or 2) people in decision-making positions that always affect peoples lives who's values are opposite the vast majority of Americans.

President Bush: With all due respect, please don't use this nominee to fill this particular seat? He is not a fair choice and making choices for women and families is NOT the American way!

Robert Conrad is too extreme in his personal views and is a poor choice for this judgeship.

Everyone has a choice of what is right and wrong. It is not up to someone to make that decsion for you. And about him giving false information on birth control. He should be ashamed.
