Correcting the New York Times on Late-Term Abortion

This morning, the Daily Signal’s Mary Margaret Olohan caught the news pages of the New York Times erroneously claiming that it is false to say many congressional Democrats back a policy of legalized abortion until birth:

The sentence flagged by Olohan has been changed by the Times (without any editor’s note or correction noting the change). The article now says the portrayals of Democrats were “at times misleading”:

Still, in the final weeks of the midterms, many Republicans embraced a central message: a 15-week limit with exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. They sought to push Democrats to define their own limits on gestational age in order to frame them, at times misleadingly, as “extremists” who support “abortion until birth” if they refused.

Many Democrats openly admitted they opposed any legal limits on abortion through all nine months of pregnancy: 

And even those who didn’t openly admit it effectively backed the same policy. Every congressional Democrat except Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas backed a radical federal bill that would effectively impose a policy of legal abortion through all nine months in all 50 states.
