Earlier today, some conservatives and pro-lifers tweeted their objections to left-wingers’ attempt to allow abortions after 20 weeks in Texas. The liberal website Salon took great offense, characterizing the pro-life tweets as “heinous” and devoting an entire Twitchy-style article to them:
Conservatives infuriated by #standwithwendy spew heinous tweets: Starring @DLoesch @KatiePavlich & more http://t.co/7078Sc1ub2 #txlege
— Salon (@Salon) July 1, 2013
Let’s take a look at some of the pro-life tweets Salon considers “heinous”:
Wendy Davis is hoping to forge a political career on the backs of infants. Real "woman of the people," there.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) July 1, 2013
This doesn’t even come close to the the obscenities prominent conservative tweeters get from liberals on a daily basis.
Hearing a crowd of people at the Capitol cheering the death of babies is literally sickening. #Stand4Life

Unless you cheer for infanticide, according to Salon, you’re a terrible person.

See, rich liberals LIKE abortion because it gets rid of the undesireables. And *I* am the one being harassed for wanting babies saved.

Seems like Salon has a short fuse for conservatives who mostly state a lot of truth with a little bit of creativity! This was noted by many on Twitter:
@davidharsanyi They are supporting 20 week old babies and that's heinous to liberals. @Salon @DLoesch @KatiePavlich

@davidharsanyi @DLoesch @Salon @KatiePavlich Is there some new definition of heinous that I'm not aware of?
— SAJ (@ShenValleyLife) July 1, 2013
Who needs a dictionary when you have fake agenda-driven outrage?
If Salon is really looking for truly heinous tweets, there are plenty of those to be found on the left side of the Twitter-sphere.
