Concerned Women for America (CWA) is deeply concerned about President Obama's nomination of Dawn Johnsen for the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Council. As a former legal director of NARAL from 1988 to 1993, she not only promoted abortion on demand, but fought all legitimate restrictions on the practice. She has stated the idea of making abortion rare as well as safe and legal is "nonsensical," and called mothers-to-be "fetal containers." Topping it off, as a board member for the American Constitution Society, Johnsen holds the view that the U.S. Constitution is a living, breathing document and rejects its straight forward and literal reading. Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) shares our concerns and has authored a letter sent to President Obama asking him to withdraw Johnsen's nomination. CWA Policy Analyst Martha Kleder and Shari Rendall, CWA's Director of Legislation and Public Policy spoke with Congressman King on how you can help oppose Dawn Johnsen's confirmation.
