Dawn Johnsen

Dawn Johnsen is pro-abortion. She is also an Indiana University professor. She has been nominated by President Obama, to become the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel.

At present, her confirmation is in doubt, because she has made comments equating pregnancy with slavery. Earlier the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the Johnsen nomination on a party line vote, but the Senate Democratic leadership has yet to schedule a vote, because of overwhelming verbal opposition. She is considered an abortion advocate because she was the legal director for NARAL twenty years ago, who wrote Supreme Court briefs with statements saying, "Abolishing abortion would make women forced breeders, and that pregnancy is similar to slavery, if abortion is outlawed." 

When Johnsen worked at NARAL, she filed a brief with a footnote, saying, "Forcing a woman to bear a child, when she didn't want to, was disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude." 

There's a reason Lady Justice is depicted wearing a blind fold which ensures her impartiality. Remember she holds two scales in her hands. Those scales are balanced, because she wears that blindfold.  I don't think Dawn Johnsen fits the bill. Her blindfold is off and so is she on both women and life issues. More to follow when the Senate votes.
