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]

MR. CONRAD'S RECORD MAKES IT CLEAR THAT HE FEELS THAT HIS PERSONAL MORAL STANDARDS SHOULD BE FORCED UPON OTHERS AND IS WILLING TO USE APPOINTED POWERS TO PENALIZE THOSE WHO DON'T AGREE WITH HIS OUTLOOK. THIS IS NO PART OF THE DEFINITION OF A JUDGE, IN FACT IS THE VERY ANTI-THESIS OF A JUDGE'S RESPONSIBILITY; THAT OF MAKING FAIR JUDICIAL DECISIONS OUTSIDE OF THE PERSONAL VALUES OF ALL INVOLVED ACCORDING TO THE LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE LAW

Women need choices. Stop men from trying to dictate to women. We already lose 70% of our luxury when there is a divorce, primarily because we are always the main caregivers. Is it the goal of the anti-choice people to keep women in poverty?
