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!

I am very concerned that so many men wish to punish women, as if they get pregnant all by themselves.and must suffer the consequences.

We need fair judges, who will study the issues and judge, not ones who already have a closed mind. Bush has already appointed too many judges for life that are anti Choice and other issues he favors. A democracy needs more than one opinion!!!!

The majority of Americans are pro-choice. I believe America is still a democracy?

This is without doubt the most unqualified person to ever be nominated as a Federal judge (next to Clarence Thomas).

Because denying access to safe and legal reproductive health services is only going to result from deaths from very unsafe and potentially illegal alternatives, and overpopulation is a REAL problem

Every Bush nominee that congress has approved has ended up hurting Americans. Here's another one.
