I would really like to make a list of questions for the person for murdering babies. It would go something like, "What would you say to the people that say the baby is not getting the chance for life, liberty and the persuit of happiness?" Have you heard anyone ask that question?

When we get better reporting and interviewing, our ideas as to what is good and bad and right and wrong may some day become balanced. Right now there are few to none balanced stations.
Exactly. You will *never* hear an abortionist being questioned like this on NPR or any mainstream station. The abortionist segment was basically a support/compassion piece for abortionists.

While the pro-life segment was trying to get the guest to defend her views.

Both segments equate to fairy tales.

So anything other than , "so tell me why do like to kill babies" is pandering to the abortionist.

Default Terry Gross is God

She's the best and so is NPR.

Frankly, there is nothing more unappealing than a right-winger with their stupid stance on abortion. It's reality, so get used to it.

Also, being a "Christian" doesn't lend any credibility to the absurd right-wing ideology.

Go Terry Gross!

Well at least she has some fans, and just for the record it wasn't I who thought it was seductive some on blogs find her voice rather interesting to say the least.

Pleasant and calming, oh my!!!

They really had to dig to find, or create this piece of drivel. I'm not buying it.

At least the second one was a legitimate interview, in spite of the biased tone.

Erm, why didn't they do a similar piece with a woman who had an abortion after a bad experience with a rapist?

Long time listener first time caller...

Terry Gross couldn't be rude if Wayne La Pierre put a gun to her head and told her to say rude things about Rush Limbaugh.

Says someone who has never ever listened to public radio in their life. I'm betting on that one.
