Perfect Times lead. Open with a reactionary exulting over an abstract principle that will hurt other people (and would have with a minor change of circumstance hurt her). Then cut to the real person suffering real harm as if they are equivalent.

It also does the very NYT thing where the conservative in the story is an anti-abortion operative, which somehow doesn’t bear mentioning.

Look I don’t know her exact circumstances but if she went through IVF twice, seems unlikely she only ever created two embryos. Wonder what happened to the other ones

Also, according to her own definition, Ms. Brumfield is a murderer. Impossible to do IVF without creating and disposing of embryonic tissue.

Amazing the reporter didn’t even appear to ask about the first woman’s other embryos. A complete failure as a journalist.

I'm curious about where Brumfield got IVF and what happened to any embryos left over after her 2 children were born. As to whether the Times even mentions up those 2 details

The View From Nowhere just can't help giving the fascist top billing, then spilling a gallon of ink trying to rationalize a purely ideological crusade.

So what did you do with the rest of your "extrauterine children" after your successful IVF, Natalie? Hmmm?

I think the journalist would say that the placement is meant to let the reader compare the situations and come to their own conclusion. Again though, no follow-up on Blumfield, an activist who would no longer be able to use the treatment because of something something Jesus embryos

Someone needs to explain to me why people “as Christians” begins at embryonic stage. I read the Bible and Christ never talked about that. Not even a little bit.

Did they ask Natalie why she wishes she didn't have the 2, or what she thinks should be done w/ all the existing embryos....sorry "babies"?

Also typical that the NYT does not correct the person not understanding how the Alabama ruling would have prevented Eloise from being born.

If she had two children via IVF then she "murdered" 12 to 18 "babies". What a fucking hypocrite.
