I think many competing national media outlets will continue to claim objectivity, much in the same way that competing supermarkets claim to have the lowest prices," he said. "In both cases, you just have to shop around to determine who's telling the truth."
While Republican-controlled states have embraced heartbeat bills, Democratic strongholds have passed legislation to guarantee abortion up until birth and roll back regulations on clinic safety and parental notification.
