For those who make the argument that he was just being a good lawyer doing his job. If he had volunteered to help out a pro-abortion group in a similar circumstance, would that have been okay too?

John Roberts did not volunteer for this case. He was the lead appellate attorney in a law firm with about 1000 lawyers. It was his job to help those 1000 lawyers with their appellate cases and this was only one of them. As an employee of a law firm he could not pick and chose which lawyers he could help nor the cases, he was bound to help them all - REGARDLESS of his personal ideology on those cases.

I AGREE.
Judge Roberts was NOT the lead attorney on this case. He did 2000 hours of pro bono work in his carrer, as is required and assigned in major law firmsbut this case took but a few hours of his (non-billable) time.
