A week ago, Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler published a faulty fact-check on late-term abortion.

In the course of the article, Kessler quoted a spokeswoman from the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights who observed that European countries with gestational limits on abortion have “very broad exceptions to these limits — such as socioeconomic concerns, or to preserve the person’s mental health.” That’s true of some but not all European abortion laws.
