The mainstream media has been running cover for the pro-abortion presidential campaign run by Vice President Kamala Harris, allowing the candidate’s false assertions to go mostly unchallenged in her race to the White House. But while ABC News may have refused to fact-check Harris’s presidential debate arguments, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with The Washington Post is fact-checking the vice president’s lies about abortion.
In response to Harris’s claim during this month’s presidential debate that late-term abortions are “not happening,” Kathleen Parker, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 2010, published an article in the Post last week arguing “Late-term abortions are not a myth. They’re happening.”
Parker began by noting that Harris and her allies have talked “a lot about the 14 states that have banned access to abortion and the 27 others that have restrictions based on gestational duration.” She went on, “But we’ve heard little to nothing about the nine states and the District of Columbia that allow abortion no matter what the age of the fetus. This basically means up until the moment of birth.” Parker continued, “Democrats bent on restoring abortion rights would have us believe that no state would allow a fully formed baby to be aborted, and it is rational to believe this. But such is not always the case.”
To illustrate her point, she cited the example of Warren Hern, an 86-year-old abortionist in Colorado who was profiled last year by The Atlantic. Hern’s website advertises the fact that he commits late-term, third-trimester abortions. “Hern estimated that about half of his later-term abortions are of healthy babies,” Parker reported, noting that Hern’s abortion facility commits roughly a dozen second- and third-trimester abortions weekly. She continued, “Sometimes, in Hern’s procedures, a fetus can be removed whole, but other times it has to be dismembered. All in another wretched day’s work, I guess.”
