'Going to scream': WaPo slammed over article profiling top 'anti-choice' lawyer

Raw Story  

The Washington Post is being criticized for a recent profile on a conservative lawyer that neglected to mention he supports a 150-year-old abortion ban. Journalist Susan Rinkunas blasted the piece on Blue Sky saying, she's "going to scream: The Washington Post published several hundred words about Jonathan Mitchell being a 'renegade' without explaining that his biggest project is trying to revive a 150-year-old law that could ban abortion nationwide." "Mitchell's greatest achievement was having SCOTUS, which was about to abolish abortion rights anyway, agree there was a secret loophole that made it impossible to enforce constitutional rights," said longtime lawyer and analyst Max Kennerly. asked Planned Parenthood Action strategist Greg Greene "I am not so sure that characterizing the country's leading anti-choice lawyer who defended Trump in the Colorado ballot case as an ideological 'renegade' is accurate," complained "Balls and Strikes" editor-in-chief Jay Willis. asked historian Stephen West, citing the Post article claiming Mitchell "has impressive mainstream accomplishments" and bragged he delegated "the right to enforce laws to private citizens."
