Why the future of choice starts this Wednesday...

Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood Why the future of choice starts this Wednesday... Imagine a world where doctors are forbidden by law to put their patient's health first -- when that patient is a woman seeking an abortion. The Bush administration wants this to become a reality for every woman in America and her doctor -- and sooner than you think. This Wednesday, November 30 the Supreme Court will hear Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood -- a case that could eliminate the requirement that abortion restrictions must include protections for women's health. If Ayotte is decided the way the Bush administration wants, politicians -- not doctors -- will judge when patients can and cannot receive the care they need. A decision in favor of the Bush administration's standards would give a green light to states to pass laws that deny women access to abortion in medical emergencies. Ayotte makes it clearer than ever: the balance of the Supreme Court WILL determine the future of a woman's right to choose. If Samuel Alito is confirmed, he would tip the Court against the right to choose for decades, and Ayotte is just a sample of the kind of case he will encounter in that time. This is why we're asking you to make a special effort this week in our National Stop Alito Petition Drive. Just a few minutes of your time could affect the future of a woman's right to choose for generations. Please, do your part by signing the Stop Alito petition today! Samuel Alito has written, "the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion." We must not allow him the chance to pursue this legal philosophy as a justice on the Supreme Court when so many women's lives are at stake. Help us tell our senators that Alito is wrong for a woman's right to choose, and wrong for our country. Sign the Stop Alito petition today. Click here! Thanks again for all you're doing!
