Indivisibles,

In the wake of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, President Biden plans to nominate an anti-choice lawyer, Chad Meredith, to a lifetime judicial appointment in Kentucky in a quid pro quo agreement with Mitch McConnell.

Yes, you read that right. And no, we can’t believe it either.

This is unacceptable. The decision is completely out of touch with the American people -- 85% of Americans think abortion should be legal in some or all circumstances -- and would seat a justice whose views on abortion would directly harm health outcomes for people who get pregnant.

Chad Meredith is a member of the Federalist Society, a conservative group of lawyers, law students, scholars, and more that believes in “reordering priorities within the legal system to place a premium on individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law.” In other words, rolling back constitutional rights for marginalized people and making it more difficult for the federal government to function. As if that’s not bad enough, during his time as deputy counsel to Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, Meredith defended a 2017 Kentucky law that required doctors performing abortions to first play the sound from the ultrasound while showing and describing the image to patients. While acting as deputy counsel, he also supported a series of controversial pardons and commutations at the end of Governor Bevin’s term, which led to an investigation by the FBI.

If Chad Meredith is seated in Kentucky, his track record shows that millions of Americans will be harmed for generations.

Here’s what we’re asking Indivisibles to do right now:

Click here and demand Biden not nominate Chad Meredith. This nomination is a slap in the face to the millions of Americans who have spoken up about bodily autonomy since the reversal of Roe and an abdication of his duty to represent the American people. Biden can still choose a different nominee. Let’s make sure he does the right thing.
Click here to tell your senator to reject Chad Meredith’s confirmation. If Biden decides to go through with it, the Senate must not confirm this nomination. Tell your senator that Chad Meredith is unfit for a judicial seat. This is a lifetime appointment. We have one opportunity to get it right.

Call now to ensure Kentuckians don’t end up with an anti-choice extremist on their court for generations. We can fix this today.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
