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.

I don't like the idea of abortion, but I like even less the despirate measures women choose when legal and safe abortions are not available. Children are hard work, even when you want them. Nobody should have to raise a child who isn't prepared to take on the duty, and no child should have to be raised by a parent who didn't want them. please reject the nomination of this man.

Please block the appointment of extreme right judicial activist and prevent the further deterioration of the balance of powers. The Bush assault on the Constitution and our rights must end.

Please remember that Judges personal opinions on all subjects should be and be seen to be unbiased ahead of any case. This judge clearly demonstrated that at least some of his decisions are already made, namely on the subject of reproduction. This is not acceptable.

The bench is already overloaded with conservative judges. The more there are, the more distorted our legislative climate, and the more their rulings will alter the status quo in this country. NO MORE CONSERVATIVE JUDGES!

Our system of justice if fact our very democracy is being compromised by the religious right. It is time to move back toward the center. No more radical judges.

A judge who has such a radical view on what should be a CHOICE can't possibly be a good candidate for a seat with so much power. He has a completely misguided view about Planned Parenthood and, like so many others, feels he has the right to decide what a woman can do with her own body. Mr. Conrad goes beyond being pro-life and into a far more militant view. I personally am Pro-Choice (as I believe that, yes, it is the CHOICE of the individual what they do with their body) and that doesn't mean that I want people to have abortions - it simply means that it's not my business what you decide to do. Until Mr. Conrad can either gain control of his emotions on the topic of abortion or go through the mental and emotional trauma of actually having an abortion, I do not believe he should have power and influence, ESPECIALLY of such a high position. For the millions of women in this country, please, PLEASE do not let this man and his hurtful thoughts and actions get to the Court of Appeals. |

The right of a woman to choose responsibly is not only good for her, but it is good for society and ultimately prevents an unwanted child who may have a miserable life because it was unwanted. Yes, some children are given up for adoption and placed with loving, caring homes, but many are not. Most women do not take abortions lightly, they are carefully considered, emotionally-packed decisions that are undertaken for a wide variety of reasons. That choice should remain a viable option for women, and not be nullified by politicians who are far removed from the case at hand.
