NARAL wasn't criticizing Verizon.
No, but NARAL did try to use RICO to stifle their opposition...

 Sorry, they tried to use RICO to sue protesters who blockaded the clinics illegally. There was never any attempt to apply RICO to otherwise legal behavior. The Supreme Court did rule that RICO doesn't apply because anti-abortion groups are not mobsters. They did not rule that their actions are legal.

"There is no dispute that [the protesters] interfered with, disrupted, and in some instances completely deprived [women and clinic workers] of their property rights," writes Chief Justice William Rehnquist for the majority. "[The protesters'] counsel readily acknowledged at oral argument that aspects of his clients' conduct were criminal."
