Dear Friend,
What exactly would John Roberts's confirmation to the Supreme Court mean for a woman's right to choose? There's been plenty of talk about his qualifications and record -- but if you are a pro-choice American who values personal freedom and responsibility, here are some key facts you need to know:
The truth about John Roberts's anti-choice record:
He argued to the Supreme Court that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. As Deputy Solicitor General under the first President Bush, he argued to the Supreme Court that "Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled..."
He argued in support of violent clinic protesters from the anti-choice group "Operation Rescue" who have tried to block women's access to basic health care services with bombs and threats of murder.
Key figures from the radical right are overjoyed at his nomination. Tony Perkins, president of the anti-choice lobby Family Research Council, has said that President Bush "promised to nominate someone along the lines of a Scalia or a Thomas, and that is exactly what he has done."
If Roberts is confirmed to a lifetime appointment, there is little doubt that he will work to overturn Roe v. Wade. We must not allow someone who's spent his career advocating ending the right to choose to be appointed to the most important court in our country.
What you can do:
Send an email to your U.S. senators right now to oppose John Roberts. If we want to protect a woman's right to choose for the next generation, silence is not an option.
Please take action, then spread the word to your friends and family.
Sincerely,
President
