NARAL Ad Misrepresents Roberts
As a U.S. deputy solicitor general under the first Bush administration, John Roberts filed a friend-of-the-court brief in Bray v. Alexandria Women's Health Clinic arguing that the Civil Rights Act of 1871, enacted to protect African Americans from discrimination after the Civil War, did not prohibit peaceful pro-life demonstrators from standing outside of abortion clinics. The Bray case involved a lawsuit by the National Organization for Women against Operation Rescue, a group of peaceful pro-life protestors, for obstructing the entrance of an abortion clinic in Alexandria, Virginia. In a 6-3 decision, the Court sided with Roberts' reasoning that the protestors were objecting to abortion rather than that the clients entering the clinic were women. [source: CWA Press Release]
