What Liberal Media?

The New York Times is publishing results of a study of Earth-shattering significance, one affecting peoples health, the sciences, nay even the nation as a whole: Study Finds 29-Week Fetuses Probably Feel No Pain and Need No Abortion Anesthesia - New York Times

How do we know the Times attaches such import to this report? Because the front page of their website contains three separate links to it, ensuring this revelation slips past nobody. Check out the screenshot below. The Times has linked the study under National news, Health news, and Science news.


More evidence of the ongoing obsession that liberals have attached to abortion.

Update: I finally got around to looking at the article, which begins thusly:

a team of doctors has concluded that fetuses probably cannot feel pain in the first six months

Concluded probably? That doesn't sound like a conclusion to me. Later on we find this gem:

"From the available biological evidence, it seems very unlikely that a fetus experiences what we think of as pain before 29 weeks of gestation," Dr. Rosen said

Well that's a strong statement. From what he's seen, Dr. Rosen is pretty sure that a fetus feels no pain. At least not like we think about it.
