Yahoo News: Resolution to condemn attacks on crisis pregnancy centers is an 'anti-abortion' measure

This is one of those fortunate times when the reporter who wrote the story also sent out the tweet, so we can make sure all of the abuse is being directed to the proper person. Tom LoBianco is a reporter for Yahoo News and writes Wednesday that the House Republicans have quickly embraced two new “anti-abortion” measures.

Nice choice of photo, too.

So let’s review: House Republicans voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would require babies who survive abortions to be given medical care. This literally only kicks in after an attempted abortion fails. Republicans also voted on a resolution to condemn violence and vandalism against crisis pregnancy centers and churches. Let’s see what LoBianco has to say:

House Republicans advanced a pair of measures on Wednesday that, while largely symbolic, put their stamp on the abortion battle as it continues across the country a half-year after the Supreme Court struck down federal protections.

The first measure condemns violence against crisis pregnancy centers that counsel women against having abortions. The second measure would set new penalties and regulations for abortion providers in cases in which a child is born despite an attempted abortion or failed abortion.

The newly GOP-controlled chamber voted 222 to 209 to approve the measure condemning attacks on crisis pregnancy centers; it voted 220-210 to advance the measure designed to curb “born-alive” abortions.

How are those anti-abortion measures?

Total lie

Not "anti abortion" bills, dude. But I guess you have to lie because you know most people won't actually read the bills.

Are you high? You are suggesting it is "anti abortion" to condemn violence against pregnancy crisis centers?

WHAT? 🤨

"The first measure condemns violence against crisis pregnancy centers, which counsel women against having abortions." https://t.co/LjND1hBGqW

How is preventing violence against pregnancy centers anti-abortion?

What a piece of crap you are.
How about anti domestic terrorism bill?

One of these bills condemns violence against crisis pregnancy centers. Why is this being framed as "anti-abortion" rather than "anti-domestic terrorism'? https://t.co/VLJRY4qTE2

One is a bill to stop terrorism against charities that help new and expecting mothers, and the other is a bill to make it illegal for a doctor not to provide necessary medical care to a live baby in his presence. https://t.co/XTXR1Em6KG

With Republicans in control of the House, reporters are probably anxious to insert “anti-abortion” into their copy as much as possible.
