My LTE Regarding TSF's "leave it up to the states" Comments

Our normally very sensible and smart Seattle Times printed Maggie Haberman's NYT article about Smelvis's comments on abortion. I called them out. See below.

Today's (4/9/24) front page NYT story regarding the former President's remarks on reproductive rights was disingenuous at best and dishonest at worst. The headline sounds so benign. Just leave it up to the states. Implied in those remarks, though, is that he is A-OK fine with the complete bans currently in effect in many states. He doesn't have any problem with women dying of sepsis or losing their ability to bear future children. He thinks that 10 year old girls should be forced to carry their rapist's baby. He thinks it's his business and that of other legislators to interfere in women's healthcare decisions. He thinks that today's Arizona ruling that reinstates a century-old law that criminalizes all abortion care for women, their doctors, and anyone who assists in that process (UBER driver?) should stand.

Why don't you put that story on your front page?

May I suggest that you write something similar to your local newspaper?
