The women of Operation Outcry are making their voices heard in Washington, regarding the president's choice of a Supreme Court nomination. Over a thousand women who are part of Operation Outcry testified to the damage abortion has caused in their lives, in affidavits filed at a recent hearing with the U.S. Senate Judiciary committee.

Sandra Cano a.k.a Doe stated at the hearing, "I am angry. I feel like my identity has been stolen and put on this case without my knowledge and against my wishes. How dare they use my name! One of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court said during oral arguments, 'What does it matter if she is real or not.' Well, I am real and it does matter. I was in court under a false name and lies . . . Doe v. Bolton is based on a lie and deceit. It needs to be retried or overturned . . . Abortion is wrong. I love children. I would never harm a child yet, because of this case, I bear the guilt of over 46 million children being killed. The Court is also guilty."

The organization is calling on President Bush and the Senate to choose a justice who will consider the facts and evidence that are now available, showing the effects abortion has on women and their families. Dianne Donaudy, Georgia State Leader for Operation Outcry, said, "There is not one aspect of my life that has not been affected by my abortion. We must have a nominee who believes in the 'Rule of Law.'"
