Do Not Allow a Vote on Merrick Garland

With the passing of pro-life Justice Antonin Scalia, political discussion has turned to his replacement. Thankfully, Justice Scalia was one of the minority of justices who disagree with Roe v. Wade and its 43 years of virtually unlimited abortions.

Unfortunately, President Barack Obama is looking to pack the Supreme Court with another pro-abortion extremist who will keep abortion on demand in place for another 43 years. He has nominated liberal appeals court judge Merrick Garland, who would be another reliable pro-abortion vote.

The Senate must not hold a vote on garland's nomination, but instead should wait until a new president takes office. That allows the American people to select a new president and determine the course they want the Supreme Court to take on abortion.

We call on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to not schedule any vote on Garland's nomination. Such a promise prevents Obama from selecting a third pro-abortion Supreme Court justice to follow Sonia Sotomayor and Elana Kagan, both of whom are thoroughly committed to unlimited abortions and upholding Roe v. Wade.
