“SOUTH DAKOTA MOVES TO LEGALIZE MURDER OF ABORTION PROVIDERS”<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The headline – re-tweeted by legions of “progressive” alt-media droogs – wasn’t remotely ambiguous; supposedly, a bill in the South Dakota legislature would legalize the murder of abortion providers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now – what’s the rule?<\/p>\n

If the leftymedia says something about conservatives, distrust.\u00a0 Then verify.\u00a0 Then, almost invariably distrust some more, because it’s a lie (with the propability approaching 100% in direct proportion to the sensationalism of the claim.\u00a0 Indeed, I’m going to call this the Mother Jones Corollary to Berg’s Tenth Law<\/a>, since MaJo <\/em>is one of the most consistent offenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So\u00a0– read the article <\/a>– which\u00a0screams its throat raw that South Dakota is\u00a0going to all but sell license to kill Infanticidiatricians.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then note the updates, which gingerly note that the bill actually makes a legitimate immediate\u00a0threat of death or bodily harm to a fetus via an illegal act <\/em>a justification to homicide, per South Dakota law, same as with any other person<\/em>.\u00a0 With the emphasis being on illegal acts<\/em>, which abortion, more’s the pity, is not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So all together now; if the “progressive media” says it, it’s probably a lie.\u00a0 And if you check into it, it’ll turn out to be pretty much always definitely a lie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hope we’ve cleared that up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
