NARAL to run anti-Roberts ad

From the NARAL website:

NARAL Pro-Choice America, the nation’s leading advocate for personal privacy and a woman’s right to choose, launched a nationwide television ad campaign drawing attention to one of the most disturbing episodes in Supreme Court nominee John Roberts’ career – the brief he filed siding with groups like Operation Rescue and other anti-choice extremists who use bombings and other forms of intimidation against women, doctors, and nurses at women's health clinics

view the ad here.

The ad will run in Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, home of three Republican Senators who often vote pro-choice.

Comments

Out of a sense of fairness I think it should be pointed out that this ad is a distortion of Robert's record (from Fact Check - http://factcheck.org/article340.html). To my mind the jury is still out on Roberts and we can't (and maybe shouldn't) do shit about stopping him anyway. He seems like a highly intelligent person and there is a chance he is not a crazy conservative. Unfortunately I think that is the best we could've hoped for.
