SUPREME COURT NOMINEE EMERGENCY-BUSH NOMINATES ROBERTS

Bush announces Supreme Court nominee Dear Friend, In a devastating move, George W. Bush has nominated John Roberts to replace Justice O'Connor's swing vote on the U.S. Supreme Court. By nominating John Roberts, George Bush has issued a slap in the face to every American who values personal privacy and a woman's right to choose. We need your help NOW. Please click here to make an emergency contribution to help us oppose his nomination. With Bush in the White House and Congress in the grip of anti-choice leadership -- a woman's right to choose cannot afford to have John Roberts on the Supreme Court. The worst news, John Roberts has actually argued before the Supreme Court that Roe v. Wade should be overruled. As a person who values privacy and personal freedom -- we need you with us at this moment to ensure a woman's right to choose is protected. Click here. I know NARAL Pro-Choice America has asked you for your financial support several times in the last few weeks, and the entire staff at NARAL Pro-Choice America thanks you for your generous support of our work. But the simple truth is anti-choice hardliners are pouring millions of dollars into this fight to pressure Senators to confirm a nominee hostile to Roe. That's why I must ask you once again to support our strategic Choose Justice plan with a gift today. In the next few weeks, our work could determine whether the Supreme Court continues to recognize Roe v. Wade as a constitutional right or whether it swings to the right as payback to Bush's anti-choice base. We have never, in the thirty-two years since Roe v. Wade first ensured a woman's right to choose, faced the possibility of such immediate and monumental change on the Supreme Court. We must educate and mobilize pro-choice Americans to vigorously oppose John Roberts' nomination to the Supreme Court. Right now, the radical right is pouring millions of dollars into an effort to force anti-choice Supreme Court nominees through the confirmation process in the Senate. But we will not let them. We may not have the White House in our pocket like the radical right does. But we are America's pro-choice majority. If all pro-choice Americans stand together, I have no doubt that we can succeed in demanding the U.S. Senate protect this freedom from a stacked court. Please stand with us right now. We will need your help every step of the way. But we must seize this opportunity to let our Senators know that we will not simply stand by and accept a right-wing takeover of the Supreme Court. Too much is at stake -- the lives of countless ordinary Americans will be affected by the outcome. Please click here to take action -- and to take your place in history. Thank you -- I know that together we will prevail. Sincerely, Nancy Keenan, President NARAL Pro-Choice America

WHAT IT MEANS:

The confirmation of an anti-choice justice to the Supreme Court could mean the end of Roe v. Wade, which protects a woman’s most basic right to privacy, the right to choose.
