Note to NPR

Just because you say "so called" before "partial-birth abortion" does not make it right. Your story this morning on the federal abortion ban up for review could have been worded just that way. "Partial-birth" abortion is not a medical term. It's a made-up political term by the anti-abortion movement who want to attach a moral judgment to a sometimes medically necessary and extremely rare procedure that happens because a fetus has a life-threatening birth-defect or the life of the mother is in the balance. Don't play to the hands of this movement. I thought NPR was a so-called objective news source.
