The Los Angeles Times apparently doesn’t think “women who were born during botched abortions in the 1970s” are abortion “survivors,” as a Wednesday article about two such women featured a title that put the term in scare quotes: “Abortion ‘survivors’ criticize Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill.” Marcus E. Howard led the item by hyping that “House Republicans on Wednesday fueled an already emotional and partisan debate by hearing testimony” from Gianna Jessen and Melissa Ohden, who “survived failed saline-infusion abortion attempts.”
Howard noted that Jessen was “left with cerebral palsy due to a lack of oxygen during her mother’s attempt to terminate the pregnancy” – a vague way of describing the fact that the woman’s mother tried to kill her in utero. The journalist reported that the abortion survivor asked during her congressional testimony, “If abortion is about women’s rights, then what were mine?” He continued with a quote from Ohden: “I’m here today to share a story not only to highlight the war of abortion taking place at Planned Parenthood, but to give a voice to other survivors like me.”
The LA Times reporter later disclosed that “in stark terms, Ohden recounted the abortion procedure her mother underwent when she weighed less than three pounds. Doctors told her parents she had little chance of recovering from health-related side effects, she said.”
Howard placed the quotes from Jessen and Ohden in the first three paragraphs of his article. However, he later set aside five straight paragraphs to quotes from Planned Parenthood officials and their supporters inside and outside of Congress:

Well, they can’t be survivors. That doesn’t fit the template.
The LA Slime will never get it. As long as their editorial board and publisher share hard left views, reporting the truth is not an option, an agenda of never letting the truth get in the way of your agenda is its only reason for publishing anything. May their days be numbered and may they fall fast and hard.
We are already in Hell and we are the monsters.
But they will believe any paid actors that the Clintons and Obamas drag out before the cameras. The La La Times isn’t an American paper.
” Lied About Surviving Abortions “
You mean they actually didn’t survive?
What liars !!!!!!!
.
For a “newspaper” that won’t release soebarkha’s “Rashid Kalidi tape” they’ve got a lot of nerve calling out anyone on anything.
The Slime’s logic must be “...they must be lying, they were too young to remember an abortion...”. Geniuses.
its possible they lied because people have lied about surviving Auschwitz. these survivors if they feel comfortable should share there medical records because the medical records might have Dr notes on this.
LA Times wages war on women
