Fetal-pain study omits a baby butcherin' bias.

Surprise!

Remember yesterday's
breathless leftist lie of the day? (I think I have a new feature for my humble blog!) The fairy tale basically said undifferentiated tissue masses in the womb don't feel pain so don't think twice, go ahead and chop 'em all up.

Well, today's Philly Inquirer points out the so-called "scientific study" of studies was really babytoir propaganda slapped together in under ten minutes in a hybrid car owned by a NARAL operative.


But their seven-page article has a weakness: It does not mention that one author is an abortion clinic director, while the lead author - Susan J. Lee, a medical student - once worked for NARAL Pro-Choice America.

JAMA editor-in-chief Catherine D. DeAngelis said she was unaware of this, and acknowledged it might create an appearance of bias that could hurt the journal's credibility. "This is the first I've heard about it," she said. "We ask them to reveal any conflict of interest. I would have published" the disclosure if it had been made. (Thanks to the conservatives' favorite serial adulterer for the heads up.)

News flash to the dumbass! Hey, egghead! People will lie to acheive their goals.

Yes, scientists too.
