When you see them have a ban that does not include exceptions for rape or incest or the health of the mother, you understand that elections do matter. We will be very active in '06 and in '08 in electing candidates that represent the views of most Americans.

applaud ask bush call clear continues documents expect freedom herb highest house information judge judicial nominated oppose powerful president privacy public questions roberts senators tough urge value white
President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy. If the White House continues to stall, then it begs the question, 'What is the president hiding, and why?' ... I applaud Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold for stating they will ask Roberts the tough questions and expect clear answers. We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination.

We play an important role in engaging the American people in this debate about issues that affect their daily lives.

actions admit attack bill chilling clearly commit contains continuing dakota dangerous difficult direct endanger exception exceptions inadequate interfere judicial life lives passed personal president prevent protect rather reminder roe south supporters threaten
The actions of the South Dakota legislature are a chilling reminder of the lengths to which anti-choice lawmakers will go to interfere in our most difficult and personal decisions. This bill contains an inadequate exception to protect a woman's life and no other exceptions -- not for rape, not for incest, not even to protect the woman's health. Clearly emboldened by President Bush's judicial appointments, South Dakota has passed dangerous and unconstitutional legislation that its supporters admit is a direct attack on Roe v. Wade. Rather than continuing these unconstitutional assaults that threaten to endanger women's lives and imprison doctors, these legislators should commit to enacting commonsense legislation to prevent unintended pregnancy.
