Earlier this week, our Senate confirmed a federal judge who, as recently as 1997, wrote that "the wife is to subordinate herself to her husband," and that her job "is to place herself under the authority of the man."
Incredibly, six Democrats joined with most Republicans to support James Leon Holmes for U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Arkansas.
This confirmation is part of a clear and disturbing pattern. Anti-choice hardliners in the White House, Congress, and in state legislatures across the country have launched a war on women. Holmes' confirmation is just the latest outrage in the mounting body of evidence showing the anti-woman agenda of the Bush administration.
Gloria Feldt, President of Planned Parenthood, said it best: "James Leon Holmes' confirmation is a mark of shame on the Senate roll call, but a call to action for women nationwide." If you want to stop this war, there is something you can do.
Join with Planned Parenthood to call on anti-choice politicians to stop their war on women. Sign this petition and demand that our government help save lives, protect our health, and respect our privacy by supporting legislation that affirms reproductive and social justice for women at home and abroad.
