As your constituent, I am urging you to oppose John Roberts, President Bush's nominee to the Supreme Court.
If Roberts is confirmed to a lifetime appointment, there is little doubt that he will work to overturn Roe v. Wade. As Deputy Solicitor General under the first President Bush, he argued to the Supreme Court that "Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled...."
Appointment to the Supreme Court allows unparalleled power and opportunity to shape national law and policy for generations. An anti-choice judge, if elevated to the Supreme Court, could tip the balance in many cases dealing with reproductive rights and other personal freedoms.
Roberts, who has demonstrated hostility to the right to choose, will very likely be such a judge. The American public deserves a nominee that can be counted on to uphold constitutional rights.
Granted I know you are pro-life, but if we go back in history prior to the change in law in the 70's; we will have young women dying in the alleys and back office's of butchers who say they can help young women with abortions. If you take away the protections that women are in control of their own bodies then what happens? Do you men take over again and say what we as women can and can't do?
This isn't allowable nor should it be tollerated in our "civilization".
Sincerely,
