"The majority of Americans know the 'nuclear option' is a dangerous power grab by the far right designed to clear the path for President George W. Bush's most divisive anti-choice judicial nominees. We're pulling out all the stops in our efforts to disarm the 'nuclear option.' This vote could come down to a handful of senators, and we're making sure that they hear from their constituents," said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. "Reducing the Senate to a rubber stamp for President Bush's ultra-conservative judicial nominees is a terrifying prospect. Americans expect far more from their elected officials."

The patch-through calls target Republican Senators in 12 states. Approximately 430,000 activists received a call from NARAL Pro-Choice America’s president, Nancy Keenan, allowing the activists to be “patched-through” directly to their Senator’s office. The calls are part of NARAL Pro-Choice America’s "Choose Justice" campaign. NARAL Pro-Choice America has mobilized its volunteer base in every part of the country and generated 100,000 petition signatures to senators urging them to oppose the "nuclear option."
