Dear John,
We've told you about Julie Rikelman, a pro-abortion activist attorney and Biden nominee for the United States Court of Appeals. Chuck Schumer filed cloture on her nomination Monday afternoon. A cloture vote on her confirmation is expected Wednesday and a final Senate vote could come as soon as Thursday, despite the fact that Rikelman's extremist positions and history of pro-abortion advocacy make her unfit to serve on the federal bench.
Act now and tell your senators to vote against Julie Rikelman's confirmation!
Rikelman's career shows her dedication to pushing a radical pro-abortion agenda in our nation's legal system. This includes representing abortionists in court and leading a U.S. litigation team for a pro-abortion organization.
As recently as August of 2022, Rikelman worked as the Senior Director of U.S. Litigation for the Center for Reproductive Rights, an organization dedicated to establishing abortion as a "fundamental human right" and attacking pro-life laws and legislation across the United States.
As an attorney, Rikelman has defended abortion in several lower court cases.
She took her pro-abortion advocacy to the U.S. Supreme Court in June Medical Services v. Russo (2020) and, most recently, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022), the case that ultimately resulted in the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade. In Dobbs, Rikelman argued against a Mississippi law protecting unborn life after 15 weeks gestation (babies in the womb can suck their thumbs at this stage). She argued in favor of the radical abortion regime that Roe implemented - abortion on demand for any reason throughout all nine months of pregnancy. She even went so far as to falsely claim that abortion has been a part of the American tradition since our country's founding.
Reach out now and ask your senators to stop Rikelman's confirmation!
Recently, the Senate voted to confirm Nancy Abudu, an SLPC lawyer and leftist activist, to be a U.S. Circuit Court judge for the Eleventh Circuit. Regrettably, she will now preside in federal court for years to come. While Abdud has been confirmed, there is still time to urge your senators to stop Julie Rikelman's confirmation!
Thank you for your continued engagement on these judicial nominations that will influence the federal judiciary for decades.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at FRC Action
