The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing this Wednesday to
consider the nomination of Claude A. Allen to the Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals. Allen, who is currently serving as Bush?s Deputy Secretary for
the Department of Health and Human Services, should not be confirmed due
to his lack of experience, his far-right ideology, his lack of respect for
the law, and his nomination from Virginia to a seat reserved for a member
of the Maryland bar.
Urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to Oppose Confirmation of Allen

Allen is a staunch opponent of abortion rights, going so far as to claim
that abortion is causing a genocide of the black population. He helped
draft Virginia's parental notification law and supported a law imposing a
24 hour waiting period and requiring biased information be given to women
seeking abortions. Furthermore, Allen has been a vocal supporter of
abstinence-only education programs and backed the Bush Administration's
decision to remove information about condom effectiveness and teen
pregnancy prevention from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website.
