There’s a lot of choice-related news coming from all parts of the country this week.
On the Virginia election front, we were glad to hear that when young women find out about candidate Bob McDonnell’s anti-choice thesis, they are “much less likely to back” him for governor. But we have a lot of work to do, because only half the young women in Virginia know about the thesis! Help us spread the word to key voters in Virginia: make a donation today.

Attempts to fight anti-choice laws in court are going strong, too. In Arizona, courts only have until next week to ruleon a suit challenging parts of a new anti-choice law. NARAL Pro-Choice Arizona did all it could to block the law, but that state's anti-choice legislature and governor refused to listen.

Meanwhile, anti-choicers in South Dakota are appealing a court decision that struck down two out of three provisions of an anti-choice law - even though one of the provisions was struck down specifically because there's no evidence that abortion increases the risk of suicide.

Back on the national stage, Dawn Johnsen still has not been confirmed for a Justice Department position, partly because of her pro-choice position. President Obama nominated her in February - talk about stalling! Read the article and then help her and another stalled nominee, Judge David Hamilton, get confirmed.

And we can’t forget about health-care reform. Our colleagues who lobby Congress are working right now to stop at least seven expected anti-choice amendments as the Senate Finance Committee works to pass a health-reform bill. What are we up against? Check out this story and see what anti-choice senators will do to obstruct the process.

I tried several times clicking on the link 'help her and another stalled nominee Judge David Hamilton, get confirmed.' Each time it stated the 'webpage could not be found.'
