Abortion, breast cancer and pathologically weaselly Blogging Tories.


April Reign has a post on the continuing dishonesty of the Wingnut Right, who are still trying to push the hopelessly-discredited link between abortion and breast cancer. Which, of course, reminds us of the perpetually-deluded True Blue Joanne who once unabashedly promoted that very same rubbish, got savaged for it in her own comments section and, in response, simply walked away with the goalposts:

... Many readers here have disputed the breast cancer studies, but no one can dispute the fact that you had complications following your abortions, and that you had years of emotional pain to contend with afterwards.

We must keep this issue open.

Quite right, JoJo .. because when you make an unambiguous claim, only to have it ripped to shreds by numerous, educated commenters who provide actual references for their position, the only reasonable response is to throw up your hands and promise to revisit the issue some day.

Oh, and change the subject. That, too.

Lets try that again...

Translation:

We must keep this issue open because the only way the illiterate idiots who listen to us will continue to go to our websites is if we continue to re-affirm their already held prejudices and delusions in the face of contrary evidence!

Oh... and you damned liberals and your damned liberal science!
