Another fiction piece from the New York Times:

EL SALVADOR, November 27, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On April 9, New York Times reporter Jack Hitt produced what may be called a ‘hit piece’ against the pro-life movement in El Salvador. The piece, laden with scare tactics, culminates in his tale of woe of a woman who he says had an illegal abortion when she was 18 weeks pregnant and was sentenced to thirty years in prison. The only problem with the story is that the woman was found guilty of strangling her full-term baby shortly after her birth.

Another example of the Culture of Death not letting the facts get in the away of their agenda.
 
If you ask me, abortion is murder and so it should be punishable by imprisonment.

Consider this. Abortion is murder of the innocent and the Death Penalty is for people that have committed heneous crimes.

Of course, you could say the same general thing about the left. They are pro-abortion and anti-death penalty. Murder the innocent and let the guilty live. :confused:

As for me, I can see the death pebalty in rare cases. The only one I could see right now where it would be justified would be Saddam.
 
Just an I WONDER thought.

If abortion was punishable by law. Then would Dr’s, nurses mothers, fathers etc find other solutions to an unplanned pregnancy? Would people be more responsible in their moral choices?
Would premarital sex and “free love” go by the wayside for the most part?

I don’t know. But if the punishment is harsh enough then the actions just might become rare if not nonexistent.

In the end, the most effective measure is public disapproval. Some acts – such as drunkeness among Orthodox Jews – are extremely rare because of the social stigma associated with them.

The goal of the pro-abortion movement is to make abortion socially acceptable. If women who had abortions, and the doctors who performed them, became social outcasts, abortion would be rare.
 
In the 19th century, The New York Times crusaded against abortion. Some “progress” huh?

Btw…the tag line “All the News that is Fit to Print” refers to the stories exposing the abortion industry the paper ran before the Ochs family bought it. They new owners would have none of that material “soiling” as the paper first put it, its reader’s breakfast linen.
 
Here’s a link to the original Hitt piece (no pun; the author is Jack Hitt):
nytimes.com/2006/04/09/magazine/09abortion.html?ex=1302235200&en=d855d7f018cc8c56&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

This was published April 9, 2006.

And here’s a link to the editorial written by Byron Calame pointing out the need for the Times to admit to not checking facts and correcting errors as they should (he doesn’t disagree with the POV expressed regarding abortion):
nytimes.com/2006/12/31/opinion/31pubed.html?hp

Published December 31, 2006 – almost exactly nine months later. :eek:

Now the Times is considering eliminating Calame’s Public Editor position when his term expires in May 2007. Perhaps because he pointed out that the Emperor has no clothes?

lifesite.net/ldn/2007/jan/07010404.html

Never mind the abortion debate: The Times has broken journalistic integrity rules by allowing a piece to be printed with provable bias and distortion. Lucky thing Carmen Climaco is El Salvadorean; otherwise she could file a libel lawsuit against the Times.
 
Nothing new for the Times. It has always been ideologically driven and secularist. The Times motto “All the news that is fit to print” refers to the anti-abortion crusade of the publisher from whom the Ochs family purchased the paper. Ochs first motto was “Will not soil your breakfast table linen”–a snotty reference to the expose of abortion trade horrors in NYC by the paper’s founder Henry Jarvis Raymond–a conservative Presbyterian.
 
Looks like there may be some fallout at the NYT:
New York Times Likely to Dump Ombudsman after Abortion Bias Exposed
By John-Henry Westen

NEW YORK, January 4, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The New York Times is seriously contemplating removing its public editor (ombudsman) position which was instituted in 2003 to be an independent voice for the public within the paper in order to maintain credibility. The new move comes in the wake of current public editor Byron Calame’s confirmation that LifeSiteNews.com was correct in asserting the Times made a major error in reporting on criminal penalties for abortion in El Salvador.
