Washington, D.C.? ? This morning representatives from Concerned Women for America, Iowa Right to Life, and Susan B. Anthony List delivered nearly 4,000 petitions from Iowa pro-life activists to Senator Chuck Grassley?s Des Moines office,urging him to maintain his strong resolve to let the people have a say in the Supreme Court vacancy following Justice Scalia?s death. The groups released the following joint statement ahead of delivering the petitions to Sen. Grassley?s office:
?Despite sustained and organized campaigns by the abortion lobby, Senator Grassley has been unwavering in his commitment to ensure the American people have a say in who fills this court vacancy.

Our members in Iowa and across the country stand by him and are proud to support him.?
