Mollie @ Patheos, GetReligion nails it, regarding the media coverage of the abortion fight in Texas:
"...unless the Associated Press is coming out as partisans in this debate, this is inappropriate bias for a hotly-contested story about a bill sponsored by … a female Texan who has talked about this legislation in the context of how it benefits women as well as the children growing in their wombs. Again, one might personally agree with one side or the other, but the story should not take sides.
"...Now, given that abortion is legal in all 50 states and that under the Roe regime, that we only last month witnessed the conviction of an abortion doctor for infanticide and murder (among other things) and that despite lax coverage we see reports of clinic failures throughout the country with alarming frequency, I wonder if the story should mention any of this...Would you like to guess which paragraph of this 16-paragraph story got around to mentioning Kermit Gosnell or any of these things or the context under which this legislation is being considered?...Did you guess that the folks writing the story never got around to it? You would be correct!..."Of course, you would. Read more HERE.... and HERE...
