Last week, Alabama passed an extreme abortion ban in a thinly veiled attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade. This week, @SenateGOP is trying to shove through 5 judges who have spent their careers undermining women's reproductive rights. This is a full-scale attack on women's health.
Daniel Collins argued in a brief submitted in the Hobby Lobby case that companies should be able to deny contraceptive coverage to employees. Now @SenateGOP and @realDonaldTrump want him on the Ninth Circuit. afj.org/our-work/nomin…
Howard Nielson, nominee to be a Judge for the District of Utah, defended a highly restrictive Texas law that would have prevented countless women from accessing abortions. The Supreme Court disagreed and ultimately struck it down. cnn.com/2016/06/27/pol…
It gets worse. Stephen Clark sponsored an ad calling Roe v. Wade “BAD LAW” & comparing it to Dred Scott, a heinous Supreme Court decision that deprived Black Americans of their constitutional rights. No wonder Republicans want him on the federal bench. civilrights.org/resource/oppos…
Carl Nichols, @realDonaldTrump's nominee to be a Judge in the District of Washington DC, argued that pharmacists should be able to deny patients access to emergency contraceptives (which they're required by law to provide) because of religious objections.
Kenneth Bell once argued the "indefensibility of the abortion rights position," claiming there was "no middle ground." Thanks to the @SenateGOP, he could wind up on the federal bench in North Carolina, where legislators have already considered an anti-abortion bill this year.
Republican state legislators are already stripping away women's constitutional rights. And @realDonaldTrump & @SenateGOP are making their jobs easier by appointing judges who could overturn Roe v. Wade. I'll be voting no on every one of these guys. prochoiceamerica.org/laws-policy/tr…
