Washington Post Misleads Readers on Abortion Availability
Has The Washington Post ever traveled to Iowa? Obviously, yes for presidential caucuses.

Neb. abortion ban eyed well past state lines
LINCOLN, Neb. — Mike Flood, the 35-year-old speaker of Nebraska's Legislature, had a problem: He wanted to stop the state's well-known Abortion provider from offering late-term abortions.

Using that decision as a road map, last spring Flood wrote and won passage of Legislation that bans abor...

ATLANTA — The rate of teen births in the U.S. is at its Lowest Level in almost 70 years. Yet, the sobering context is that the teen Pregnancy rate is far lower in many other countries.

Last week, U.S. health officials released new government figures for 2009 showing 39 births per 1,000 girls, ages 15 through 19 — the lowest rate since records have been kept on this...
