New Pro-Choice Ad Slams Roberts
<snip> The new ad, featuring smiling families and an American flag in the background, emphasizes a phrase in a 1981 Roberts memos: the "so-called right to privacy," and points out that he co-wrote a government memo saying the landmark Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion was wrongly decided.

"There's just too much at stake to let John Roberts become a decisive vote on the Supreme Court," the ad says.

The new ad will run on CNN and during cable programming in the Washington, D.C. area. NARAL says it is using part of its $500,000 slated for the original buy to pay for the new ad. <snip>

1. Why don't they start using the terms "interfering with medical
decisions"? Shouldn't Dems also start pounding this in, instead of focusing on the lightning rod of "abortion" all the time without extending the situation to everybody, thereby giving everyone a stake in the matter?
