Media Bias Alert

From the AP, we get an article covering a minor dispute down in Louisiana. It would appear that creation of specialty license plates in Louisiana are being suspended because of a fracas over the abortion debate.

The whole mess with license plates aside, this article is a signpost of bias pointing to the journalist or editor. Examine the first paragraph:

NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge has blocked the state from issuing specialty license plates, an offshoot of the Legislature's decision to allow an anti-abortion plate while refusing to authorize one for the pro-choice view.

Pro-choice is spin. Whenever the pro-life position is labeled "anti-abortion", the pro-abortion position is also labeled "pro-choice". The spin becomes: opposing the "pro-choice" position is anti-choice. Therefore, you are forced to think, "If I oppose pro-choice, then I am anti-choice, and so I must be un-American and some sort of Nazi." Rarely will liberal sources use the terms anti-abortion and pro-abortion together.

Tongue in cheek, I'll live with the anti-abortion label if we can call the abortionists anti-child or anti-life.
