NY Times Freudian Slip: Abortion. Infanticide. What's the Difference?
Michelle Malkin has the story of the major whopper Freudian slip in the NY Times by freelance writer Jack Hitt, in the magazine's April 9 cover story entitled Pro-Life Nation. Pro-Life Nation is a "hitt piece" on the criminilization of abortion in El Salvador, complete with scare tactics and vivid pictures to evoke sympathy, focusing on one woman serving a 30 year prison term "for having an illegal abortion". (The falsehoods in the story were first exposed by Lifesite.)
Here is an exerpt from Michelle's blog:
The sensational piece alleged that women there had been thrown in prison for 30-year terms for having had abortions. Hitt described his visit to one of them, inmate Carmen Climaco. "She is now 26 years old, four years into her 30-year sentence" for aborting an 18-week-old fetus.
Cruel. Horrible. Outrageous. And utterly, demonstrably, false. Climaco had actually been convicted of murder for strangling her newborn baby.
