December 23, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Pro-abortion bias has once again reared its ugly head at The Washington Post, in a double-standard that undermines the journalistic principles of the paper and the credibility of the rest of the publication’s reporters and editors — and is ill-timed, given the media bias controversy over a now-pulled Post editorial cartoon that portrayed Sen. Ted Cruz’s, R-TX, children as chained monkeys.

Yesterday, the Post’s Niraj Chokshi reported on an Associated Press-Gfk (AP-Gfk) poll that found 58 percent of Americans support abortion being legal “most” or “all” of the time  a seven percent jump from January of this year — compared to 39 percent who believe it should be illegal “most” or “all” of the time, a drop of six percent. Toward the end of his piece, Chokshi noted the poll was conducted shortly after a deranged man engaged in a shoot-out with police at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic.

On Nov. 27, an armed gunman stormed a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing three and injuring at least nine others. The suspect in the incident, Robert Lewis Dear Jr., used the phrase “no more baby parts” to explain his actions, according to law enforcement.

The poll was conducted days later, from Dec. 3 to Dec. 7, with 1,007 adults interviewed. The margin of sampling error is 3.4 percentage points. Respondents were chosen randomly by phone or by mail and then subsequently interviewed online.

Somehow, Chokshi didn’t see fit to report that Dear is almost certainly mentally unstable, with a history of unstable activity.
