Bush is pouring salt on fresh, open wounds. His appointment of Ashcroft and Norton and his restrictions on funding for foreign groups which counsel on abortion are viewed as alarming and threatening by women, minorities and environmentalists. Watch what he does, not what he says.

OPPOSE ASHCROFT uspolitics.about.com First Batch of Petitions Delivered! On Tuesday, People For the American Way delivered to U.S. Senators the first 130,000 petitions collected on this website. As our nation's chief lawyer and principal enforcer of federal civil rights laws and other federal laws, the position of Attorney General must be filled by somebody beyond reproach: a person of integrity and good judgment. John Ashcroft is a right-wing conservative with an exceptionally poor civil rights record and an astonishingly bad history concerning reproductive rights. He has voted against affirmative action and anti-discrimination laws, against a crucial AIDS provision, against environmental protections, and has received extraordinarily high ratings and accolades from prominent ultra-conservative groups and institutions like the Christian Coalition and Bob Jones University. Moreover, Mr. Ashcroft's actions regarding the Ronnie White nomination demonstrate a clear lack of integrity. People For the American Way, the NAACP, NARAL, LCCR, the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood, the National Council of Jewish Women and other groups oppose the nomination of former Senator John Ashcroft to the position of Attorney General. Review our fact sheets and reports highlighting Ashcroft's extreme record. Then add your voice by signing the following petition, which will be delivered to your Senator. If you indicate that you would like to receive updates on the confirmation process, we will let you know the number of signatures collected wen they are delivered. Dear U.S. Senators, The Attorney General is the nation's chief enforcer of civil rights and other laws. John Ashcroft's record as Missouri's Attorney General, Governor and Senator demonstrates that he is not the right person for that job. I strongly oppose the confirmation of John Ashcroft to be U.S. Attorney General and I feel confident that you will reach the same conclusion after reviewing his record.

And those Priests who harass women because they have had abortions Would do better to examine their own lives. Look at how many have been accused of homosexuality and admitted to homosexuality. Look at the number of Priests who have molested children. Yet, they try and make women feel badly about abortions. Women and men must wake up to the fact that the Priests in the Catholic Church are hypocrites.

The Abortion Rights Lobby: Why Is John Ashcroft Public Enemy No.1? Tuesday, January 23, 2001 Faced with a handful of pro-life Cabinet nominees, pro-choice activists had to choose a target. What was behind their decision to go after Ashcroft? BY JESSICA REAVES Excerpt from Time Magazine When George W. Bush first announced his Cabinet nominees, a great outcry arose from America's abortion rights lobby. But despite the presence of two resolutely pro-life candidates (John Ashcroft and Tommy Thompson) on the presidential roster, pro-choice groups have chosen to concentrate their efforts almost exclusively on defeating Ashcroft. All eyes on Ashcroft For the past several weeks, every pro-choice group in the country, including NOW and NARAL, has joined forces in hopes of defeating Ashcroft's nomination for the post of U.S. attorney general — where he would be responsible for enforcing abortion laws and protecting abortion clinics. Nobody, on the other hand, seems particularly concerned with Thompson's nomination, although as head of HHS, he would exercise significant control over health care policy — and the dissemination of often controversial health-related information.
