I guess the others saw something we couldn’t see as far as a “retraction” was concerned.

OK, FTA:

"Some say I should name and shame the doctor that refused to do the procedure. If I knew why he refused I might have done just that, but since I know that there are many possible reasons that he did not do it? I’ve left him to deal with the internal procedures in place.

Right there, ABW ran under her own goalposts. The story started out as

DOCTOR REFUSES TO PERFORM LIFE-SAVING ABORTION —
Religious reasons cited

but then suddenly became something quite different:

"Doctor Exercises Professional Discretion."

That is, "Dog bites man". No story after all.

True, this is not a "retraction" in the proper sense; it is, however, a self-immmolating admission against interest, which is the best one could hope for from such a source. Angry, "entitled" liberals are never wrong in their own eyes, so they don't see how their own words prove themselves wrong to everybody else.

It is funny how she sidesteps every attempt to prove anything she has wrote knowing that it will open a can of worms that she would never be able to lie her way out of again.

Just name the hospital lady is all folks ask. My wife has miscarried too, I would never allow a doctor to let her bleed out as you have suggested. There is a difference all pro life people understand, we are for life, and the life of the mother is very important to us also.

And in a lot of cases of those on the left, redundant.
