The pro-baby killing “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were on the case Wednesday morning as they bemoaned the North Carolina legislature overriding Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of a 12-week limit on abortions. Naturally, there were omissions, such as how the bill promotes adoption and exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother, and even abnormalities. Speaking of mothers…

Like a tried and true liberal lapdog, the North Carolina media have applied a full-court press (pun intended) to attack Republican Governor Pat McCrory over the transgender bathroom law to the point that the leftist site Politifact hounded McCrory over a general statement that the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is both powerful and full of secret donors.
