35 Years since Roe v. Wade

It’s 35 years since Roe v. Wade.

Michelle Malkin Reminds us that the “choice” crowd don’t always play fair.

The New York Times ends the year as it began: spreading ghoulish abortion propaganda.

On New Year’s Eve last year, the NYT’s own ombudsman (who no longer works there now) exposed a false, sloppy, and unrepentant pro-abortion propaganda packaged as a New York Times Magazine cover story on abortion in El Salvador by freelance writer Jack Hitt. The sensational piece alleged that women there had been thrown in prison for 30-year terms for having had abortions. Hitt described his visit to one of them, inmate Carmen Climaco. “She is now 26 years old, four years into her 30-year sentence” for aborting an 18-week-old fetus.

Turned out Climaco was convicted of infanticide; the main source for Hitt’s story (which he did not disclose) was a pro-abortion group that would profit from legalized abortion in El Salvador since it sells abortion vacuum aspirators; and court documents exposing Climaco’s lies were (contrary to Hitt’s claims) readily available and accessible.

She also points out some photos [posted above] on Yahoo that you’re not going to see on too many news shows, owing to the people therein having the “wrong” views.

Update: Apparently those with the “wrong” views can be assaulted too.
