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.

Women deserve the inherent right to free choice. Women have been repressed out of man's fear of our power and we won't stand for it anymore! Bush is almost through with his term...please pass on a personal message for me...Tell President Bush to sit on his hands and to not touch anything in the White House, unless it's a bill that supports the American public in a positive, healthy way. I am one woman who will not be silenced nor have decisions regarding my body decided for me by ignorant and arrogant men who are jealous of my personal power! I say that with love. Many Blessings, Cheryl Hofgaard

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

Every woman has the right to make choices about her own health and welbeing, including when and how many children she bears.

MR. CONRAD, SINCE YOU WILL NEVER CARRY A CHILD FULL TERM AND BE THE PRIMARY AND MOST RESPONSIBLE CARE GIVER, BECAUSE MEN FREQUENTLY HAVE A HABIT OF "BAILING OUT" WHENE TIMES GET ROUGH, YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ROLE OF WOMEN; IT SEEMS TO ME THERE ARE "GREAT HOLES" IN BOTH YOUR EDUCATION AND YOUR UNDERSTANDING: A JUDGE WITHOUT FULL UNDERSTANDING IS A SORRY SIGHT TO BEHOLD, BOTH FOR HIMSELF AND THE CONSTITUTION HE IS SWORN TO SERVE.

Please end the practice of appointing persons who will lie to the public to promote the elitist agenda. Those who feel the need to plan their parenthood activities should be allowed to do so, with accurate and timely information and without interference from "the chosen" religious elitists and their agenda. Stop eroding the Constitution that has made this a great and powerful nation. Let matters of individual sin be determined by God, not by man. Do not allow the elitist to ursurp God's power. God alone is the determiner of a man's (or women's) sinfullness, not the "right to lifers" as they may believe. The need to control the lives of others is a human animal need, not a spiritual duty. If you support the end of our right to self-determination in the area of repoduction, then force the right to lifers (and yourself) to pay the for the upbringing of the children they(you) force to be born. Let them raise them, house them and pay for their education at their expense not our government's. I have seen too many children brought into this world by parents who cannot effectivley parent. Our nation suffers now for the number of children raised by selfish or ineffective parents; children who grow up ill-equipped to be productive American citizens. Crime begins within the home (or from the lack of one).

Abortion does not "erase" a mistake, it's true. Abortion stays with the ones who make that decision, for a lifetime. "New" mistakes happen when a woman or couple don't have a choice. Children born into extreme poverty, stuffed in trash bins and abandoned are bigger tragedies.

Just another attempt by GW to put a stamp of permanency on his terms in office. He will do everything is his power to shackle the country to his inept and destructive policies for as long as possible. We must not let him insert any more of himself or his administration into the government or into the lives of the American people, especially with lifetime appointments of lawmakers. We must keep the religious right out of the government.

history has already told us that the pro life movement has taken more lives than saved. for many people the added stress of parenting in an unwanted situation has caused abuse beyond belief it has also caused poverty, drug and alcohol abuse and mental health issues in others. population control is a right and a responsibility for all. the pro choice movement is for the betterment of all people not just somebodies moral code or religious choice. which it should be some ones choice. sincerely,kelly corwon

I'm tired of the Bush neverending list of right wing, greedy, dishonest, incompetent nominees to well paying positions that require important, sometime life-altering decisions.

It's time to bring balance and wisdom back to our judicial system. Honoring individual rights and choices is sorely lacking in the current administration's past nominees. Rejecting Robert Conrad, as well as any other biased nominees, honors what your constituents want and expect. Thank you in advance for your support!
