A Porn Lawyer for Deputy Attorney General?

Here's a letter I sent to many Senate leaders today:

Mr. Ogden has built a career on representing views and companies that most Americans find repulsive. In his career he has argued AGAINST parents being notified that their 14-year old girl had an abortion, saying that "there is no qualitative . . . difference between minors . . . and adults." Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Mr. Ogden has argued that women who have had abortions suffer no detrimental consequences and instead feel "relief and happiness" after aborting their children.

Mr. Ogden has also PROFITED FROM REPRESENTING PORNOGRAPHERS and IN ATTACKING LEGISLATION INTENDED TO BAN CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. The Department of Justice should not have A PORN LAWYER as its Deputy Attorney General, a position tasked with making the most important decisions of the department.

WHAT HOPE HAVE WE THAT OGDEN WILL NOW HELP ENFORCE THE LAWS HE HAS SPENT HIS CAREER ATTACKING?

IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE SENATE AND THE HONOR OF THE UNITED STATES TO CONFIRM THIS MAN TO SUCH A POSITION.


What are YOU going to tell them?
