Abortion "News"
The New York Times carries this piece (requires registration) this morning on a new development in crisis pregnancy counselling centers.
When measured in "amount of ink" devoted to quoting each side, this appears to be a balanced article, but in choice of quotes and tone, the article makes it look like all pro-lifers are unthinking religious zealots, and all pro-choicers are reasoned, scientific thinkers.
What I want to know is -- how big a check are you going to write to help buy the sonogram machines for the centers?
