NARAL, the nation's leading pro-choice lobby, was forced to pull its controversial television advertisement after receiving a highly critical letter written by U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter.
According to CNN.com, Sen. Specter stated, "In our free society, anyone can speak out as they choose on any subject. I am concerned that the Roberts nomination, or others to follow, may provide an occasion for such advertising to get out of hand.
The letter continued, "The NARAL television advertisement is blatantly untrue and unfair. ... May I also suggest that the NARAL advertisement is not helpful to the pro-choice cause which I support. When NARAL puts on such an advertisement, in my opinion it undercuts its credibility and injures the pro-choice cause."

Comment: NARAL's positions on abortion are offensive to many who believe that human life is precious. I see nothing of value to NARAL's campaign of demonization against Judge Roberts but, given the ethos in which it immerses itself, find little that it does on this account surprising.
