Overall, the story is fairly balanced but reporter Jason Horowitz displays some ignorance when he mentions Ramesh Ponnuru’s book “The Party of Death“:
Dannenfelser, wearing a striped beige jacket and a necklace of silver spheres, came out of her small office, where books about the importance of women in the life of Pope John Paul II (“Wojtyla’s Women”) and an anti-Democratic screed (“The Party of Death”) sat in a short bookcase….
If you know nothing about a book past the title, you probably shouldn’t comment on it.
There was a small protest (from Tampa Bay Online’s pictures it appears around 20 people attended) outside one of FL Gov. Charlie Crist’s residences encouraging him to veto a recently passed ultrasound bill and it’s gotten some media coverage:
“I can remember my mother telling me stories when I was young of young women dying in the streets from botched abortions.” They’re stories Nancy Turner has never forgotten, and stories she doesn’t want to see happen again. That’s why she and other pro-choice supporters are speaking out about HB 1143.
1. Dying in the streets? Seriously? Who believes that? We consistently have abortion proponents claiming sans evidence that hospital wards were full of women dying from botched abortions and now apparently the wards were so full that women were just left to die in the streets.
2. How on earth would a bill requiring abortionists to show women an ultrasound lead to women having botched abortions?

“dying in the streets from botched abortions” where and when did this occur?! i would like facts, please!
I attended the March for Life in Ottawa yesterday and one of the best signs I saw said: “Abortion doesn’t make you unpregnant…it just makes you the mother of a dead child”. It was a great day for pro-life Canadians.
“I can remember my mother telling me stories when I was young of young women dying in the streets from botched abortions.” They’re stories Nancy Turner has never forgotten, and stories she doesn’t want to see happen again.”
Nancy Turner,
Where did your mother live? Maybe we could try to substantiate her “stories”. How do we know this isn’t an old wives tale?
Robyn,
Sorry, I should have read your comment before I posted! Don’t these kinds of stories make you crazy?
