In 2005, NARAL Pro-Choice America was criticized for an ad campaign that targeted U.S. Supreme Court [[Chief Justice of the United States|chief justice]] nominee [[John Roberts]], and withdrew the ad.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4798452 | title=NARAL Pulls Ad Criticizing Roberts | publisher=NPR | date=2005-08-12}}</ref> The ad featured [[anti-abortion violence]] survivor [[Emily Lyons]], and claimed that as U.S. Deputy Solicitor-General, Roberts had supported "violent fringe groups and a convicted clinic bomber". While Roberts did argue before the Supreme Court that a 19th-century statute directed against the [[Ku Klux Klan]] did not apply to [[Opposition to the legalization of abortion|protesters outside abortion clinics]], the case in question occurred almost seven years before the 1998 bombing shown in the ad.<ref>{{cite web |author= Matthew Barge |date= August 12, 2005 |orig-year= August 9, 2005 |title= NARAL Falsely Accuses Supreme Court Nominee Roberts | work=[[FactCheck|Annenberg Political Fact Check]] | url=http://factcheck.org/article340.html | access-date=August 12, 2005 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101229231405/http://www.factcheck.org/article340.html |archive-date= 29 December 2010}}</ref> The ad was retracted under pressure from other pro-abortion rights groups, as undercutting the credibility of the abortion rights cause.<ref>{{cite news | last=Balz | first=Dan | title=Abortion Rights Group Withdraws Anti-Roberts Ad | date=August 12, 2005 | work=washingtonpost.com | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/11/AR2005081102257.html}}</ref>
