In Fox News and certain political message boards who just copy and paste what they see in Fox, we are being told that late-term abortions are now allowed in the state of New York. But they won't tell you that this only applies to cases where the woman's health is in immediate danger, and even if the fetus can't make it alive outside the womb.
There are two possible replies to this thread that I will kill out of the gate:
1) So what! Killing babies is still wrong!
This argument fails because if you really considered this to be a "so what" moment, you wouldn't have hidden the caveat in the law in order to lie to readers. You thought that outrage would not ensue if you had accurately described the law.
2) Fake news!
This one is easy. Read the law and you'll see that you're the fake one.
