SFLAction Meets with 3 U.S. Senators to Oppose SCOTUS Nominee and Abortion Radical Ketanji Brown Jackson

Guest post by Students for Life Action Public Relations & Policy Coordinator Savanna Deretich

 

GUEST POST: On March 22nd, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) had a very successful lobbying day in D.C., urging U.S. Senators to vote NO on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court.   

We met with the offices of Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). At each office, we shared our concerns about Judge Jackson’s record of suppressing the free speech rights of religious students and pro-life advocates outside of abortion facilities, as well as her work in support of barbaric partial-birth abortions

Although Judge Jackson is an experienced nominee with legal accomplishments throughout her career, she is unqualified to sit on a judicial bench due to the threat she poses to Americans’ Constitutional rights. A seat on the Supreme Court bench lasts a lifetime, meaning KBJ could endanger Americans for decades if confirmed.

Each office we met with was incredibly welcoming and gracious, allowing us to take our time to discuss Judge Jackson’s nomination and how Students for Life Action and Students for Life of America are working to prepare for a Post-Roe America should Roe v. Wade be overturned. We discussed our Standing With You initiative, our Campaign for Abortion Free Cities, and SFLAction’s policy plans for when states finally have the freedom to protect their children with stronger pro-life laws.

We then discussed how the Pro-Life Generation can work with our federal legislators to introduce and pass pro-life legislation that will help create a Post-Roe America where both women and their children are loved, supported, and valued. 

We also shared our experience at the “Confirm KBJ” rally we counter protested on Monday. We shared the horrific uptick in violent behavior and ugly rhetoric from pro-abortion activists over the past several months, which Students for Life deals with at political events and on campuses every day. The staffers thanked the Pro-Life Generation for their bravery and devotion in standing for pro-life values.

This lobby day was a wonderful opportunity to build relationships with pro-life legislators who have a hand in crafting the law of the land and to communicate our efforts on the most vital and timely life issues our nation is facing today. We are so thankful for these Senators who’ve committed to protecting the preborn and their mothers, as well as the staffers who took the time to hear out our concerns. 

The Senate Committee on the Judiciary continued their hearings on the nomination of Judge Jackson through the week, and we were happy to see a number of pro-life Senators highlight KBJ’s disturbing record on abortion publicly.
