Dear Pro-Life Friends,

This is it. We've waited since 2000 for the opportunity to appoint a pro-life judge on the Supreme Court to replace one of its six abortion advocates.

With the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the court will have one less advocate of both abortion and partial-birth abortion.

If President Bush nominates a pro-life jurist, as most people expect he will, and if the Senate confirms the nominee, we will be one vote away from overturning the dreaded Roe v. Wade decision that has resulted in more than 43 million abortions.

That's great news!

But, as you know, it will take tremendous hard work. Over the years, pro-life groups have asked for your help in so many ways -- to educate the public, help to pass pro-life legislation in Congress and state legislatures, and to elect pro-life candidates to state and federal offices.

You've risen to the occasion countless times and, together, we've won so many battles. But unborn children need you now more than ever before!

This is the battle we've been fighting since 1973. The fight to get a pro-life justice on the Supreme Court is what the pro-life movement has been all about since then. For everyone who values the lives of precious children before birth, there's no greater fight.

There are several ways you can help in this battle and I'm going to outline several of them below.

1.) Immediately contact President Bush and urge him to appoint a justice who will interpret the words and actual meaning of the Constitution and not legislate from the bench. Moreover, ask him to appoint a judge like Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia who values the culture of life. Contact President Bush at: The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500, 202-456-1111, (fax) 202-456-2461, president@whitehouse.gov. You can also send an email by going to https://sawho14.eop.gov/PERSdata/intro.htm

2.) Contact your two senators and encourage them to support President Bush's nominee. Ask them to oppose a filibuster against the nominee. You can reach any senator by calling 202-224-3121 or find specific contact information by going to http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm3.
3.) The best way pro-life people can keep informed about the upcoming Supreme Court battle is by subscribing to the LifeNews.com Email Report. As you know, we offer free daily and weekly emails. Please encourage pro-life friends and family to email us at news@LifeNews.com to sign up or send us their email addresses yourself.

4.) Educate others. Take the information you get from LifeNews.com and write letters to the editor, forward the news to pro-life people, and print out news stories or emails to take to members of your church.

5.) Finally, support LifeNews.com with a financial gift. We bring you all sorts of news about abortion, stem cell research, euthanasia, and human cloning. However, we need your financial support to write and disseminate the news on a daily basis.

Thank you for your help and support and please do everything you can to help put another pro-life voice on the Supreme Court.

Sincerely for Life,
Steven Ertelt
