Roe Overturned

Sometimes even Fox News uses all the liberal lingo in abortion stories. A Saturday story on their website talked about "constiutionally protected abortion rights," "abortion service providers," "anti-abortion demonstrators," and the "fetus."

For people who spend most of their time warning of the dangers to “our democracy,” media pundits seem to know very little about how the American government is supposed to function. Take MSNBC’s Joy Reid, for example, as she spent the first five minutes of Thursday night’s ReidOut bewailing the numerous monumental cases decided by the Supreme Court this term.

Pro-lifers have routinely cited abortion laws in countries like China and North Korea as proof of Democratic extremism on the subject, but MSNBC’s Ali Velshi used his Saturday show to suggest that those two countries, as well as other dictatorships, prove that the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision was the radical position and that America is no longer a free country because of it.

Even by his standards, MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss brought some absurd analysis to Friday’s edition of The 11th Hour where he claimed that for as supposedly bad as this Supreme Court term was, it could get even worse next term and that it is possible that the U.S. has seen its last “fair and free presidential election”

The New York Times is not taking the Supreme Court's overruling of Roe v. Wade well. Reporter Julie Bosman made Wednesday’s front page with “Women Fear What More They Might Lose.” The text box also made the front: “Feeling Angry and Sad at the Reversal of Roe.” Bosman piled on the rage, especially when under the guise of being included in a front-page “news” story.

On Thursday, former MSNBC host and public-radio host Melissa Harris-Perry energetically compared the Dobbs decision overturning Roe vs. Wade to the Dred Scott fugitive-slave decision of 1857. It came in a segment titled “Reproductive Coercion is an American Cornerstone.”

WASHINGTON -- In the good old days, when the liberals flourished, they undertook many grand designs. Some actually worked, for instance, the interstate highway system that now girdles America. The Cold War was another liberal idea. It worked, at least at first, before the liberals went wobbly and the conservatives and independents had to come in and finish the liberals' work for them. Of…

The trio of Chelsea Handler, Seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert continued their lamentations at the downfall of Roe v. Wade on their Thursday night and Friday morning shows. The trio did everything from rage at random Twitter accounts, give the Supreme Court an “F” grade, and invited Justice Thomas to “suck it.”

On Thursday during the last leg of his foreign trip to Europe, Biden attacked the Supreme Court over its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade while he was overseas in a room full of American and foreign reporters. This is the kind of thing that the leftist news networks would set their hair on fire over if former President Trump did it, yet the three evening news networks not only didn’t…

Last week, the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that outlawed state anti-abortion laws and federalized an issue that, for all but the last 50 years of our history, was decided by the states. Critics falsely claim that Roe “legalized” abortion, when pre-1973 abortion was legal in the states where a majority of the population resided. It is now falsely…

For the Wednesday night edition of Amanpour and Company on PBS and CNN International, host Christiane Amanpour thought it was appropriate to ask Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson to condemn the Supreme Court for its Dobbs ruling that struck down Roe v. Wade.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, the liberal media have been clutching their pearls to powder while opining that “Trump judges” are destroying the Court’s credibility. The liberal media often question the legitimacy of the highest court in the land over rulings they dislike. But just a few years ago, they accused former President Trump of “…

Emotional outbursts from “objective” newspapers, pro-choice edition: The New York Times “Opinion Today” email from staff editor Sarah Wildman titled “How to Help Women if You’re Mad About Roe v. Wade” (after the name of one of the essays) took a crudely personal turn to fight for abortion rights. Meanwhile, “critic at large” Amanda Hess watched a documentary, a movie, and a stand-up…

On Wednesday’s The Lead, CNN anchor Jake Tapper pressed Democrat Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal on why Democrats have done nothing to codify Roe v. Wade into law when they had super majorities in both houses of Congress and Barack Obama was in the White House.
