CWA Supports Attorney General Pryor 6/11/2003 Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America issued a statement in support of Alabama Attorney General William H. Pryor, nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, scheduled for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today.
“Pryor has been diligent to enforce the law as attorney general, despite his own personal preferences as a citizen,” said Jan LaRue, Chief Counsel for Concerned Women for America.
“Attorney General Pryor has been grossly mischaracterized by liberal left activist groups,” she said. “Apparently the whole concept of separating personal opinions from professional responsibility is foreign to them.”
Pryor has been attacked as anti-woman, but even Judge Sue Bell Cobb of the Criminal Appeals Court, a dedicated Democrat, has supported his ability to serve as a jurist.
“Activist groups may throw around negative titles, but they just don’t stick,” said LaRue. “A man who defeats a ban on interracial marriage and starts tutoring programs for disadvantaged kids is not a racist. A man who leads efforts to prevent rape in prison isn’t anti-woman. And a man who respects current Supreme Court rulings on partial-birth abortion as the attorney general will not disregard the Supreme Court’s rulings as a judge.”
