A Telemundo News report about the Supreme Court's refusal to enjoin Texas from enacting its new abortion has once again showcased Latino media's resolve to impose their liberal agenda upon a notoriously pro-life audience.
The Texas law that goes into effect immediately bans abortions after a baby´s heartbeat is detected, around the 6th week of gestation. However, the report omitted any mention of that, focusing instead on how the law violates women´s (now its women vs. the Latinx noun they like to push) constitutional rights to end a life; on how difficult it is to challenge in court as it empowers citizens (they don’t apply the same criteria to mandatory masks and vaccines), and on how awesome Justice Sonia Sotomayor is for disregarding the protocol and traditions of the highest court in the land.
Take a look at this prime example of Telemundo’s indifference to their audience, one who as opposed to the supposedly Catholic Joe Biden, firmly believes in the right to life:

JAVIER VEGA: Nicole, good afternoon. Well, a decision that will remain in the records, in the books because it aims to change practically 50 decades, 5 decades, 50 years of judicial decisions on the right to abortion in the United States.
…
And what certainly worries women's rights advocates that happened in Texas might replicate itself in other states, because we know that the court's decisions set a national precedent. And we know that there are prohibitions in several states, but the Texas law is different because it was drafted in such a way that it is difficult to challenge in court. Why? Because its implementation does not depend on government officials, but on any citizen, Nicole.
…
VEGA: Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is part of the liberal bloc, was the one who used the most forceful language to express her rejection of the majority's decision, which she described as astonishing in a negative sense. She accused her colleagues of burying their heads in the sand, as she said they do when asked to comment on a law that prevents women from fully exercising their rights. Normally, when a justice is against a court position, they say "I respectfully dissent," and in this case Judge Sotomayor simply said "dissent”, "I disagree."
Notice how Vega emphasizes Sotomayor’s forced correlation about how protecting the unborn is burying the head in the sand. It’s quite the contrary; which is probably why the Washington DC correspondent voiced the concern of “women's rights advocates that what happened in Texas might replicate itself in other states because we know the court's decisions set a national precedent.”
That would no doubt please -and not alarm- Hispanics, a demographic that according to Pew Research, has long been more likely to say that abortion should be illegal in all or most cases.
The forced liberal agenda at the nation’s Latino media is brought to you by advertisers like Tylenol. Let them know about it.
Press on Expand to view the complete transcript of the segment mentioned above as aired on Telemundo News midday edition on August 2, 2021:
NICOLE SUAREZ: And now we're going to an extremely controversial issue: division in the Supreme Court that allows the new Texas law banning most abortions in the state to remain in effect. The highest court rejected in recent hours, by five votes to four, an emergency appeal to stop this law that President Joe Biden calls extreme and says violates a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion. Javier Vega, good afternoon. What does this Supreme Court decision mean? Tell us.
JAVIER VEGA: Nicole, good afternoon. Well, a decision that will remain in the records, in the books because it aims to change practically 50 decades, 5 decades, 50 years of judicial decisions on the right to abortion in the United States. And, it comes from the conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Among its members we know three magistrates who were appointed at the time by then-President Donald Trump. And what certainly worries women's rights advocates that what happened in Texas will replicate in other states because we know the court's decisions set a national precedent.. And we know that in several states there are prohibitions, but the Texas law is different because it was drafted in such a way that it is difficult to challenge in court. Why? Because its implementation does not depend on government officials, but on any citizen, Nicole.
SUAREZ: Javier, we also know that Judge Sonia Sotomayor had a strong reaction. What did she say?
VEGA: Well, yes. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is part of the liberal bloc, was the one who used the most forceful language to express her rejection of the majority's decision, which she described as astonishing in a negative sense. She asked his colleagues to bury their heads in the ground, as she said they do when asked to comment on a law that prevents women from fully exercising their rights. Normally, when a magistrate is against a court position, he says "respectfully dissent," and in this case Judge Sotomayor simply said "dissent”, "I disagree."
SUÁREZ: Javier, many of us are wondering, is that decision already final?
VEGA: An important point Nicole, because the court did not rule on whether or not Texas law is constitutional. Simply yes, it can be challenged in federal court and those who defend it say that only the Texas courts can rule on it. To answer your question, the court´s decision is provisional, there are still several appeals in smaller courts, but yes, on the issue of abortion in general, the highest court will rule in its next period, that will be in the month of October. Nicole.
SUAREZ: We're going to be very, very attentive. Thank you Javier Vega from the nation´s capital.
