Good News for Pro-Life Activists

Life

The Good News: SCOTUS backs Pro-Life activists.
The Bad News: AP displays its bias in the way it describes Pro-Lifers.

Supreme Court Backs Abortion Protesters
The Supreme Court dealt a setback Tuesday to abortion clinics in a two-decade-old legal fight over abortion protests, ruling that federal extortion and racketeering laws cannot be used to ban demonstrations.

Is this really just a [quote]setback[unquote] ? The Pro-Choice side seems to think SCOTUS is the final authority on everything so shouldn’t this settle the issue? The AP’s bias comes out in the second paragraph of the article:

Anti-abortion groups brought the appeal after the 7th Circuit had asked a trial judge to determine whether a nationwide injunction could be supported by charges that protesters had made threats of violence absent a connection with robbery or extortion

Instead of referring to the right-to-life side as Pro-Life, they call us [quote]Anti-abortion.[unquote]
