May 2007[edit]

I removed the following, because it isn't really related to Nancy Keenan herself. The event is already discussed at NARAL Pro-Choice America.

NARAL ran an attack ad targeting Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, implying that he endorsed violent anti-abortion extremists. Annenberg Fact Check and The Daily Show were among the first to expose the ad’s misleading content. NARAL later removed the ad, but only after writing a letter to Fact Check requesting that the organization retract its previous story. As Brooks Jackson wrote, “We are not retracting our article. Instead, it is NARAL that is withdrawing its ad.” When the attack ad was removed, Nancy Keenan stated that the ad had been “misconstrued." The ad showed a Birmingham clinic bombing and the nurse who was injured. The announcer states, “Supreme Court nominee John Roberts filed court briefs supporting violent fringe groups and a convicted clinic bomber,” and that his “ideology leads him to excuse violence against other Americans.”

June 2009[edit]

I removed the following for the same reason it was removed in 2007 - the event is already in the NARAL Pro-Choice America article and doesn't relate to Keenan herself.

NARAL ran an attack ad targeting Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, implying that he endorsed violent anti-abortion extremists. Annenberg Fact Check and The Daily Show were among the first to expose the ad’s misleading content.

Instead, it is NARAL that is withdrawing its ad.” When the attack ad was removed, Nancy Keenan stated that the ad had been “misconstrued." , working to cut tuition vouchers and tax credits. In 2004 NARAL announced Keenan to be the new president; she has focused on expanding grassroots movements, and articulating pro-choice values for the organization

I also expanded the biography and added references.
