URGENT: Call your senators NOW!

As you may already know, Judge Sonya Sotomayor is up for a position in the Supreme Court. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave her a pass this week, and her nomination will be voted on by the full Senate very soon. This is a very troubling possibility to many who believe that judges are supposed to enforce the law rather than make it.
Sotomayor has time and again, made conflicting rulings with the law. She stated that "the court of appeals is where policy is made" in 2005. While on the board of the PRLDEF, the Fund argued that the right to abortion is a fundamental right and the courts should strike down common sense laws like parental notification, "women's right to know" laws, and bans on taxpayer funding for abortions.
Abortion is not a fundamental right. LIFE is.
If you believe, as I do, that abortion is the civil rights issue of the 21st century, then please, call or e-mail your senators now and tell them how horrible of a decision it would be to appoint Sonya Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
