WashPost Blames Pro-LIFE Laws for Abandoned Newborns in Texas
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/01/2025 6:15:00 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Note the heartless obliviousness on display in this Sunday front-page Washington Post article by Molly Hennessy-Fiske. The headline:

‘Baby in a dumpster.’ A spate of abandoned newborns unsettles Texas.

Yes, what a tragedy. If only abortion were readily available in Texas, then ALL of these babies might have died, rather than just some of them.

But it's the sub-headline that gives away the paper's cruel cluelessness [emphasis added]:

"Critics say these cases are no coincidence in a state with one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans and near-bottom rankings on women’s health care."

Get the rest of the story here.

Using this logic, there should be no laws, since that is the root cause of people breaking them.

All 18 of them... but they’re alive. I suppose the Wahpo wishes to return to the slaughtering methodology.

“What is apparently lost on Hennessy-Fiske and WaPo is that if abortion had been freely available, and the mothers had availed themselves of it, every last one of the babies would have died.

So what are the “tragedies” in the eyes of the Washington Post? That some of these babies died — or that some of them managed to live?”

Once again, the leftist media feeds hysterical nonsense. Pro-life maternity crisis centers are reviled and dismissed, while PP pushes what amounts to a massive and life-ending hoax.
Ignorant young women are denied information that could help them AND the babies, and other organizations left to come up with ideas like “baby doors” in hospitals and firehouses, or better yet for PP, marching thru PP’s doors for tax-funded abortions that these young women barely understand.

I will contend, until my last breath, that there is NO SUCH THING as an “unwanted” child.
If the left will just shut up and get out of the way and allow these life-affirming orgs to do what they do, there will be NO unwed mothers who confused and scared and without resources, and EVERY child will end up in a loving and secure home.

Prolife laws, means more babies being born. It’s not the laws fault there are a lot of ferral or lowbrow women getting pregnant.

That’s exactly what the barbarians want. Their goal is to KILL all infants who somehow manage to escape being murdered by abortionists. NO SECRET ABOUT IT!

You get more informative news from used toilet paper than from the Washingon Compost.

Exactly. It’s in the same spirit of the quote by Stalin of one death being a tragedy but a million deaths a statistic and much more easy to ignore.
