What Liberal Media Bias?

The title of the article is a glaring example of liberal media bias. Instead of using a term like "Pro-life advocates" or even the harsher "Anti-Abortion protesters," the demonstrators were reduced to mere "foes." The term "foe" has a very negative connotation and doesn't exactly convey a neutral or unbiased viewpoint.

Anti-life leftists (see two can play at that game) claim that pro-lifers shouldn’t force their morals onto them. Newsflash: We, as a society, project our morals onto everyone else everyday! Laws against murder, theft, embezzlement are moral issues, because the (vast) majority society is against them. However, drinking alcohol, is legal because the majority of people do not think it is immoral to drink. That’s how a democratic society works. It’s up to the citizens whether or not we consider abortion illegal. It’s a purely legislative issue.

At the bottom of the article, you can see why the left is worried. 38 states would like ban abortion if Roe vs. Wade is reversed. (Remember reversal of Roe vs. Wade doesn’t ban abortion, but returns it to the state legislatures.) So the abortion crowd is trying to force and unpopular issue on the nation via the courts. It’s the same thing with gay marriage.

Abortion Foes Stage Protest of Roe V. Wade

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Abortion opponents on Monday marked the 32nd anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion with a day of rallies, protests and other activities as the issue takes on new urgency with the likelihood of a high court vacancy during President Bush's term.

NARAL Pro-Choice America has projected that 19 states would quickly outlaw abortion, and 19 more might follow suit, if Roe v. Wade were overturned. Last week, Norma McCorvey, the woman known as "Jane Roe" in Roe v. Wade, asked the Supreme Court to overturn its 1973 decision. McCorvey now opposes abortion and said the case should be heard again in light of evidence that the procedure may harm women. AP via Yahoo
