Dear Senators Grassley and Durbin:

On behalf of the National Women’s Law Center (the “Law Center”), an organization that has advocated on behalf of women and girls for over fifty years, we write in strong opposition to the nomination of Mr. Chad Meredith for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.

Mr. Meredith’s legal record demonstrates a concerning disregard for the medical autonomy of pregnant people and a dedication to undermining access to abortion. As Chief Deputy General Counsel of Kentucky, he defended Kentucky’s forced ultrasound law as well as severe and medically unnecessary licensing regulations imposed on abortion clinics.
