Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
In voting to filibuster Owen's nomination, Senators are protecting the fundamental rights that Americans hold dear including the right of women to make their own reproductive health care decisions.
We encourage these Senators to continue to stop the confirmation of judicial nominees who hold beliefs outside of those shared by mainstream Americans and who would turn back the clock on women's reproductive rights.
-- Vicki Saporta, President and CEO of NAF
