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!

Dr. Justin A. Frank (M.D.) is the “Director of Psychiatry” at George Washington University and a “Professor of Psychiatry” at George Washington University Medical School. In the highly informative book of Dr. Justin A. Frank, “Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President,” Dr. Frank, a renowned psychiatrist, indicates that George W. Bush is mentally ill. Dr. Justin Frank has diagnosed Bush with megalomania. In addition, Dr. Justin Frank indicates that Bush suffers from an “obscure delusional system” that drives his behavior. Furthermore, Dr. Justin Frank indicates that Bush suffers from (a) paranoia; (b) denial; (c) protective delusions; (d) schizophrenia-like problems or schizophrenia; (e) ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder); (f) learning disabilities; and (g) pathologically blaming others and not accepting responsibility for his actions. Dr. Justin Frank wisely indicates that the sole treatment plan—for Bush’s benefit and the public’s benefit—is to remove President Bush from office. Dr. Justin Frank’s professional diagnoses relating to George W. Bush are useful in explaining Bush’s catastrophic behavioral problems in the course of his presidency. Surely, the conduct of Bush while president of the United States is the result of either mental retardation or mental illness. Mental retardation can be ruled out due to the complexity of Bush’s words and conduct. This leaves the American people with only one plausible conclusion: Bush is a severely mentally ill individual. Dr. Justin Frank is forthcoming, effective, and brilliant in his analysis of Bush’s terribly diseased state of mind. I would unconditionally recommend everyone to learn from Dr. Justin Frank’s bestselling book, “Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President.” Bush's nomination of Robert Conrad should be disregarded. Bush may very well have selected Conrad under some mentally ill psychic impulse.

This man is sick. He needs psychological help, not a nomination as a judge.
