KavanaughCHARLOTTE — Catholic Voice North Carolina asks that you reach out to US Senators about the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a Catholic, to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.
"Over the past few weeks many commentators have taken the stance that Roe versus Wade is 'settled law' that should always allow access to abortion," the alert reads.
"Some senators have expressed the opinion that a nominee who opposes the Roe decision is unfit for office. Both of these ideas are untrue. The Supreme Court will always have the authority to review our laws, especially one as unjust as the abortion access created by the Roe decision."
Catholic Voice NC is a public policy organization supported by Bishop Peter Jugis and the Diocese of Charlotte. The non-partisan organization attempts to influence legislation that supports the teaching of the Catholic Church. Since its establishment in 2008, Catholic Voice has reached out to legislators in Raleigh and Washington through email campaigns

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
In the coming weeks much will be written about Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a Catholic, who is the nominee to the US Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. I am writing today to ask you to contact our US Senators about the nominating process.
Over the past few weeks many commentators have taken the stance that Roe versus Wade is "settled law" that should always allow access to abortion. Some senators have expressed the opinion that a nominee who opposes the Roe decision is unfit for office. Both of these ideas are untrue. The Supreme Court will always have the authority to review our laws, especially one as unjust as the abortion access created by the Roe decision.
Please click here to visit Catholic Voice NC to write to our two senators, Richard Burr and Thom Tillis. Our senate should consider all of the qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh in making its decision.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
The Most Reverend Peter J. Jugis
Bishop of Charlotte
