American United for Life to Leahy: No Radical Justice Appointments

Today, Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President of Americans United for Life, delivered this letter (PDF) to the Senate Judiciary Committee Members. Money quote:

"... elevating abortion to a fundamental right on the same plane as the freedom of speech would void common-sense abortion regulations that the vast majority of Americans support, like the prohibition on partial-birth abortion. Such a move would also require taxpayer funding of abortion, eliminate informed consent and parental notice and consent laws, state requirements that abortions be done only by physicians, and more. A judicial nominee who intends to pursue such a radical agenda should be summarily rejected by the Senate."
