People want solutions. They’re tired of the fight. … There are ways to reduce the unintended pregnancies in this country. When you do that, you reduce the need for abortion.

I want to be very clear that we are not suggesting that Mr. Roberts condones or supports clinic violence. I know he said he finds bombing and murder abhorrent, but still, his ideological views of...

This represents a monumental step backward for personal privacy for women.

We just don’t know anything about her.

Today’s action means the core principle of protecting women’s health as guaranteed by Roe v. Wade is in clear and present danger.

the same thing?

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...

They are coming clean on how meaningless his evasive 2003 testimony was. It’s now even clearer than before that the far-right activists who’ve been turning handsprings in celebration of Roberts’s nomination are getting exactly what...

So does he condone clinic violence or does he not?

Rather than continuing these unconstitutional assaults that threaten to endanger women’s lives and imprison doctors, these legislators should commit to enacting common-sense legislation to prevent unintended pregnancy.

There are consequences to this type of absolutely outrageous legislation.

but you say he excuses it.

It’s a picking away at our freedom and privacy, legislature by legislature, law by law, with the ultimate goal of overturning Roe v. Wade.

The American public deserves answers. Her record is so thin we don’t know anything about her.

This will become a political battle in every state that wants to consider banning abortion.

The Supreme Court’s decision to hear this case is a stark reminder of how President Bush and his anti-choice congressional allies have politicized the judicial process.

The American people need to know where this man stands on the issue of privacy.

Even anti-choice Justices Antonin Scalia and William Rehnquist respect precedent, but that hasn’t stopped them from explicitly saying they want to overturn Roe v. Wade .

The anti-choice folks across the country are feeling emboldened by the climate. You have an anti-choice president, you have an anti-choice U.S. House and Senate.

While Roberts wanted to give the impression he respected the right to privacy and the precedent of Roe vs. Wade, his answers look dangerously similar to the responses (Associate Justice) Clarence Thomas gave senators during...

Like such pro-Roberts groups as Progress for America, which began a significant advertising campaign within hours of Mr. Roberts’ nomination, NARAL Pro-Choice America will continue to exercise our constitutional right to make sure the American...

I hope President Bush will spare the country the divisiveness of a controversial nomination for such an important office. But if that’s the route he chooses, pro-choice Americans are ready for the fight.

Women in New Jersey and across the country should be very proud of Rep. Rothman for leading this bipartisan effort to provide commonsense, compassionate care to rape survivors in the emergency room. When it comes...
