Why Can't Journalists Learn The Debate?

Anyone who seriously follows the abortion debate knows that Roe v Wade is only one half of the legal tragedy that occurred in Jan of 1973. The other half is Doe V Bolton, which is where the definition of "health" was declared. So, when you see something like this, in the Wash Times (which I'd like to think would know better) you know that you're being taken for a ride.

On Jan. 22, 1973, the court ruled on a Texas case that state abortion laws violated the U.S. Constitution's right to privacy. The court ruling, in effect, protected privacy rights until about the seventh month of pregnancy.

Roe's language demands an exception, to any concern for the human being in the womb, for the life or "health" of the mother. The way it is defined in the Doe decision, if it makes "mother" uncomfortable, the human baby is toast.
