TELL BUSH WE WON'T GO BACK!
Bush appoints a hard-line conservative anti-choice bigot

TELL BUSH WE WON�T GO BACK! No to the back alley!

Take action against the Roberts nomination today, Wed., July 19 at noon -- NARAL has called people to gather at the Supreme Court.

"Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled." � John C. Roberts, Bush�s Supreme Court nominee, husband to an executive vice president for Feminists for Life

"Everything I know tells me he meets the president's criteria very well; he clearly is in the mold of Scalia and Thomas." -- Jan LaRue of the rightwing Concerned Women of America.

IT'S TIME TO FIGHT!

CALL NOW and NARAL today:

NARAL Pro-Choice America - 202.973.3000

NOW National Organization for Women (202) 628-8NOW (8669)

Planned Parenthood 1-800-230-PLAN

Feminist Majority 703-522-2214

These groups have resources that they could be mobilizing to demand that Roberts' nomination be blocked.

DEMAND A NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION TO OPPOSE THE ROBERTS NOMINATION! The battle to defend abortion rights will not be won in the US Senate. Roberts has made it through Senate confirmation hearings before and the Democratic Party has retreated on the issue of abortion time and time again. Weeks ago, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid stated that he did not anticipate the use of the filibuster to block any Court nominee. Reid also conceded about Roberts, ""The president has chosen someone with suitable legal credentials..."

At a time when a woman's right to choose is increasingly under attack, when the far right is asserting itself more boldly onto the scene and when leading voices in the pro-choice movement are on the defensive -- if they are speaking up at all -- we aim to argue with confidence and conviction for full reproductive freedom for women and demand a rollback of all the restrictions on abortion rights.
