From the Bush administration's ordtak

From the Bush administration's attacks on women's rights to preparing for a vacancy on the Supreme Court, NOW activists have our hands full protecting the advances we've made together over the past decades and moving forward on women's rights,

Democrats have been saying for years to their women's rights and civil rights base: 'Vote for us, and we'll save the Supreme Court.' Now, they have stepped back from using that power.

intent on reversing decades of policies on civil rights, voting rights, women's rights, privacy and access to justice.

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

Animal rights activists gives disillusioned feminists an excuse to go back to being women protecting wee creatures without compromising their radical credentials

If (Martin Luther King Jr.) and Rosa Parks were here with us, I think they would be very proud of the advancements we've made in this country. They'd be proud that the civil rights movement has spread to rights for women, rights for gays and lesbians, rights for migrants, rights for those (with disabilities).

Morris Dees (1936-)

The events of the past week have only underscored that we need Supreme Court justices who value the role of the courts in protecting individuals' rights and freedoms, who understand the nature of discrimination and its continuing impact on our country, and who will uphold the role of the federal government in preserving those rights and acting to protect the common good.

The resignation of Justice O'Connor creates a devastating and dangerous moment for reproductive health care and women's rights. With so much at stake, Planned Parenthood will be on the front lines of the Supreme Court battles to ensure women's health is protected.

[Gandy criticized the decision based on what is known about Roberts’ attitude towards women, but also on the basis of what is not known.] How dare Bush nominate this candidate, ... for the top position on the Supreme Court when his administration has deliberately concealed hundreds of thousands of pages of his writings, during a time that he was one of the top lawyers representing the people of the United States? If the Bush administration refuses to release these papers, we must ask ourselves what they are hiding.

When we criticize in Iran the actions of the government, the fundamentalists say that we and the Bush Administration are in the same camp. The funny thing is that human rights activists and Mr. Bush can never be situated in the same group.

She shows the worst qualities of masochists. She is boastful, she tramples upon the rights of others ... and because the majority of Filipinos are women, she is abusing the rights of women.

We're here to give visibility to and promote awareness of the issue of women's rights. We're giving people an outlet so they won't have to take the assault on women's rights lying down. 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease.

Those promises, however, did nothing to stop Thomas and Scalia from repeatedly voting against women's rights, women's reproductive freedom, and civil rights once they were confirmed.

Bush uses often the slogan of compassionate conservative to describe himself. But it hardly describes the record he has compiled as governor when it comes to ensuring women's reproductive health and rights. Last year alone, Governor Bush signed seven measures restricting rights, adding to the 11 provisions enacted in previous years.

If there's not a major push for the renewal of the Voting Rights Act, many of the advances we've seen in the past two decades will be severely undermined.
