Find your voice. It's time to speak out and fight back. On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court affirmed women's constitutional right to abortion in its landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. Today this right is under attack in courtrooms across the country. You can do something about it. Take action today, before it's too late. READ MORE The Senate confirms or rejects nominees to the federal bench, and your senator could cast the deciding vote. Richard H. Honaker is a nominee to the US District Court for Wyoming. A former state legislator, Honaker's record reveals a disturbing pattern of hostility toward reproductive freedom and opposition to the wall separating religion and state. Honaker used his time in the Wyoming state legislature to introduce bills aimed at the rollback of reproductive rights and argued that public policy should be based on Christian values. Based on his record, Honaker lacks the objectivity to be a fair and impartial district court judge. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Richard Honaker's nomination on February 12, 2008 and may soon vote on the nomination. NCJW strongly opposes his confirmation. Your voice is critical. Sign up to receive BenchMark alerts so you can take action when Honaker's nomination comes up for a vote. Then go further by telling ten friends to do the same.
