NARAL Nevermind - Roberts Ad Dropped

An abortion rights group is withdrawing a heavily criticized television ad that linked John Roberts to violent anti-abortion activists, saying its attempt to illuminate the Supreme Court nominee's record has been "misconstrued."

After protests by conservatives, NARAL Pro-Choice America said Thursday night it would pull the ad that began running this week.

NARAL had planned a $500,000 campaign to show the ad for two weeks on cable channel CNN, and on CBS, NBC and ABC TV affiliates in Rhode Island and Maine.
