The National Women’s Law Center (the “Law Center”), write in strong opposition to the nomination of Justice William “Will” Crain for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. His partisan, anti-abortion political views have motivated his judicial decision making in the past, which raises serious concerns about his ability to treat every case and every litigant that comes before him fairly. Additionally, his punitive attitude against incarcerated women seeking to address sexual assault reveals a chilling disregard for the wellbeing of and legal protections for women.
