Not that there was going to be much of a fight anyway, but the folks at NARAL should have their collective heads examined. Or at the very least they need a lesson in politics 101. Its ad has just about insured a quick confirmation for Roberts to the Supreme Court.
The ad's premise is faulty logic at best but it's particulary damaging to any anti-Roberts effort because it so wreaks of desperation. (I'm not even talking about the facts it misrepresents. Don't get me started.) And all the anti-abortion whackjobs will exploit that to the hilt. Not to mention that they now can rightly claim righteous indignation. So NARAL committed a cardinal sin in my opinion. I normally support NARAL - to say Roberts could jeopardize Roe v. Wade makes sense; to connect him with clinic bombers is so far from reality they've sealed his confirmation. Nobody likes a bully - they shot too high on this one and we'll all have to pay the price.
