NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles.
On Friday, the Washington Post's national correspondent Philip Bump was skewered in an analysis titled "Reducing access to abortion is consistent with the decline of democracy."
In the article, Bump said that the US Supreme Court's decision to limit the right to abortion limits the right to abortion and authoritarianism in recent years.
The hint puts the United States in the wreckage of the world, in addition to thecourt rulingand other authoritarian moves such as the election of former President Trump. It means that it is. Twitter critics called this argument misleading, but it's the "stupidest part" I read today, proving that Bump is "not the sharpest tool in the hut."
Bump began his work, stating that many countries have withdrawn restrictions on abortion.

"It has been fairly stable for the last 25 years. In many countries banning abortions, these laws have been slightly or significantly lifted. In places such as Nepal, Ireland and Colombia. , Like dozens of other countries, the ban on abortion has been relaxed since the turn of the century. "

He added that most countries, with the exception of two, haven't changed them at all, and the United States is now in this minority. Pointed out that he joined. The reversal of the Roe v. Wade case.
"Of course, most countries did not affect the change at all from 2000 to the beginning of this year. Nicaragua and Poland have reduced access to abortion," Bump said. I am writing. He added, "On Friday, the United States joined them. TheSupreme Courtruling at the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization abolished the ruling in the Roe v. Wade case and the state completely aborted. He admitted to banning. ""
Bump then claimed that all three countries had moved away from "free democracy" shortly before the abortion limit. "But it is worth noting that Poland, Nicaragua and the United States were all far from liberal democracy before the abortion ban spread, especially given the widespread international trends."
Bump states that the "Democratic Diversity Project" "evaluates national leadership and decision-making with dozens of indicators," and each of these three countries is illegal. It shows that it has a "consistent pattern" that increases democracy.
Bump quoted other experts who pointed out the US "attack on women's rights" and theTrump electionsas a link to "authoritarianism." "But other countries whose access to abortion has been reduced in the last two decades can be said to be countries where democracy has declined," he argued.
But Twitter conservatives didn't buy it. The argument was markedly flawed and claimed to be evidence of Bump's lack of intelligence.
NewsBusters Editor-in-Chief Curtis Houck blasted Bump and tweeted, "Bump isn't the sharpest tool in a hut."
Houck also shared tweets from the popular conservative account @ AGHamilton29. This made a big hole in Bump's claim. "It ignores the baseline that the United States is an extreme outlier among the countries of the First World, and one of the other two countries has a pattern under an anti-democratic communist government ( It showed the liberalized abortion of (Poland). "
Protesters in favor of abolition stand out in the US Supreme Court.
AG said, "He literally tried to create a pattern from two non-US countries, but honestly evaluating one of the two is the exact opposite of the correlation. That's the conclusion. "

to cite relatives of special needs to justify abortion National Review Washington correspondent John McCormack made it "One of the three countries mentioned here is Poland. Under communism, an abortion law was enforced on Poland in 1956. Poland After being released, abortion was banned in 1993. These facts are not mentioned in this article. "
Federalist senior editor David Harsanyi said," This is what I read today. Perhaps the most ridiculous work of all. It's not a small achievement. Courts are returning to voters issues that aren't found anywhere in the Constitution, and these ridiculous ppls make Dob undermine "democracy." Claims to have. ,'" He clarified and also called the work "dishonest."
