C'mon, NARAL... be honest!

NARAL, in its current advertising against John G Roberts IMPLIES that he represented violent criminals in his participation in the case of Bray v Alexandria Women's Health Clinic.

(CNSNews.com) - NARAL Pro-Choice America, a pro-abortion advocacy group, has launched a nationwide television ad campaign linking Supreme Court nominee John Roberts with
"anti-choice extremists who use bombings and other forms of intimidation against
women, doctors, and nurses at women's health clinics."

Republican and pro-life groups immediately denounced the ad campaign as false and misleading.

The new NARAL ad focuses on Roberts' 1991 friend-of-the-court brief filed on behalf of Operation Rescue in the Supreme Court case Bray v. Alexandria Women's Health Clinic -- a case arising from pro-life demonstrations outside abortion clinics.

NARAL is again, twisting facts and being disingenuous, just as it did at its inception (see Dr Bernard Nathanson's biography and many comments on the formation of this group, including how many women died as a result of back street abortions... he was there... they made up the figure...)

The defendants in that case were NOT violent. Operation Rescue is founded on peaceful, not violent resistance. They may chain themselves to doorways, and a few may shout, though they are not encouraged to do this.... but most simply pray, and resist arrest simply by not cooperating. MOST protesters at Abortion Centers are peaceful. PERIOD. There are a FEW people out there who are not part of these protests, who advocate violence. And even fewer who have carried it out.

Yet, the woman injured at a clinic bombing comes on the ad and strongly implies that Judge Roberts assisted those who WERE violent. That is not true, and a more accurate, though slanted statement of what he really did is from their own words, in a PDF file here. The Bray V Alexandria section is near the bottom.

Brainwashing is a tactic that is used a lot today on tv and radio, and this is an example. They take a tiny truth, twist it, insert a few choice words, and voila!... we have forced people to 'assume' something that is not necessarily even remotely connected to the facts.
