Say No to President Bush's Extreme Federal Judicial Nominee

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
Richard Honaker, a former Wyoming state representative, is President Bush's pick for a lifetime appointment as a federal judge. Honaker is one of Bush's most anti-choice nominees to date. He has spent his career fighting to deny women access to safe, legal reproductive-health services. And now Bush has nominated him for a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

At this pivotal time in history, it's so important that an open and fair-minded federal judge be appointed - not someone bent on interfering with women's personal choices. Send your message telling the Senate that Bush's anti-choice nominee, Richard Honaker, is too extreme for the federal bench!

Dear Senator [Name],

As a constituent, I am writing to voice my strong opposition to the nomination of Richard Honaker to the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming.

Honaker has spent his career fighting to deny women access to safe, legal reproductive-health services. He publicly and actively opposes abortion, saying it is "wrong, and no one should have the right to do what is wrong," and tried three times to ban abortion in Wyoming.

By nominating Richard Honaker to a lifetime judgeship, President Bush has shown yet again that he is totally out of step with the views of mainstream America. Honaker led the push for a ballot measure to ban abortion, which Wyoming voters resoundingly rejected. Now I urge you to do the same with this nomination.
We signed the “Say No to President Bush's Extreme Federal Judicial Nominee” petition!

A woman is the only person who should have a choice in the decision of abortion. If this right is taken away, some women may be forced to have abortions in other countries which may not be up to par medically like the United States. Do not take their choice away and force them to go to Mexcio or Canada in order to recieve an abortion.

Another egregious politization of the judiciary branch of government, Outrageous! Federal judicial appointments should be based on merit NOT politics.

It is the womans body therefor it is her choice! Who are we to say whether or not she should be allowed to make this decision because in the end it doesnt effect us it only affects the woman. Besides, if you make abortion illegal, then woman are only going to have to do dangerous procedures in order to get rid of the unborn child and this would cause a sever increase in injuries and deaths amoung young woman.

Abortion is a personal issue, not to be regulated by the government. Don't let the government take control of brushing my teeth or controling my pregancies.

A Woman's body is not public property. A woman is the only person who can decide over her own body.

Hasn't this country already lost enough of our constitutional rights and freedoms under Bush? We don't need another battle on our hands with this appointee.
