However if you check out their voting report card, its not so good. They were against Roberts and Alito, and it is almost a strong pro-abortion legislation.

Actually, they not only support abortion, they file lawsuits trying to get abortion restrictions overturned.

From their website...

NFPRHA Loses Appeal in Challenge to Weldon Refusal Law
On November 14, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled against NFPRHA in its legal challenge of the Federal Refusal Law (a.k.a. the Weldon Law). NFPRHA filed the lawsuit in an attempt to prevent enforcement of the Federal Refusal Clause provision that prohibits discrimination against any health care entity that will not pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions. NFPRHA first filed the suit in December 2004, and the D.C. District Court ruled against NFPRHA on the merits in September 2005. NFPRHA appealed the lower courts decision, leading to the Appellate Court ruling. The Court of Appeals held that NFPRHA lacked standing to challenge the provision, as no actual injury has occurred, and ordered the case to be remanded and dismissed.

From Medscape.cm

The clause, inserted by Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla., allows a federally funded "health care entity" to deny women information on abortion services, even if state laws mandate that such information be given upon request. States that attempt to enforce their laws can be accused of discrimination, and be denied all of their health, education and labor funding as appropriated under the omnibus bill.
