Washington Times: Wrong Again
The Washington Times continues the deception on Roe v. Wade. (I’m having flashbacks to the Ferraro Reuters story with a similar misleading headline).
Who edits these stories? Here is the opening paragraph.
Liberals said yesterday that Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s 1985 claim that “the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion” proves that he would try to outlaw the practice.
Bill Sammon and Charles Hurt then go on to quote many of the liberals speaking on the issue, never once did I find the quote “outlaw the practice.” (Did I miss it?)
***
Mr. Sammon, Mr. Hurt:
The SCOTUS does not make laws.
Even overturning Roe v. Wade would not “outlaw abortion.” And if the liberals are indeed saying this (and I can’t find in your article that they are), then correct them, educate them, and help them to understand the way our system of government works.
Either do your homework, or stop misleading the public, whichever applies.
Sincerely,
Eric.

UPDATE: The Washington Post is much more accurate, this time.
Opponents charged that the documents offer further evidence that Alito would vote to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision recognizing a constitutional right to abortion and would roll back civil rights and protections of religious freedom. Defenders said that Alito would put aside personal views and base his rulings on the law and a respect for Supreme Court precedent.
UPDATE 2: Others discussing include Ian, Stop the ACLU, B4B
