Can you tell me how much of the blame for "losing the battle on abortion" the Times shoulders for itself? Surely the Times recognizes its own culpability in pumping up anti-abortion candidates, uncritically repeating anti-abortion lies about the long term effects on a woman's health, and their constant quoting of anti-abortion figures while giving short shrift to pro choice viewpoints, health professionals, and published medical opinions.

I'll bet the Times really let themselves have it, huh?
