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]
[Your address]

We signed the “Reject President Bush's Anti-Choice Nominee, Robert Conrad” petition!

President Bush is a lame duck and allowing him to give judgeships to more anti-choice candidates is just wrong and unwise. Please stop him from stacking the decks even farther in the favor of the insidious MINORITY of the extreme far right and their religious cohorts.

This man epitomizes the very thing that Republicans so often rant about: a judge ruling not from the merits of a case but from a specific pre-determined political agenda.

Bush has done enough damage already. Don't let him do any more damage before he leaves office. Pro-choice is the right choice.

Do not approve of ANY one Bush nominates. You can bet they are either ignorant or backward thinkers! Conrad sounds like he is both.

This man is anti-choice abortion nominee for the US court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. No one,not even the GOVERNMENT, has a right to come between a woman & her DOCTOR.
