Calling out fake news/names hardly started with President Trump.

Liberals have been grinding out phony names for problematic/embarrassing issues since you and I were in short pants.

Because so many Americans oppose killing babies, liberals stuck the term abortion in their back pockets.

Overnight, during the rock-strewn Obama years, abortion morphed into “women’s health.”

Abortion became such a negative concept that good, ol’ Planned Parenthood burbled that it offered a panoply, Oh, maybe some desperate woman occasionally wandered in and wanted to abortion, but this was incidental to their central mission.

Except for the fact that abortion was between 99 and 101 percent of the reason that Planned Parenthood was in business, and except for the fact they did more abortions every year than a certain serial criminal Philly doctor, each word was true.

Texas is the most conservative state, and legislators have been trying to narrow the number of abortion clinics – oops, women’s health clinics – for the last half-dozen years.

An abortion-sympathetic left-wing Los Angeles Times reporter was dispatched to Dallas the other day to create a villainous picture of Texas as a mean, ugly anti-woman outpost.

Alexandra Zavis delivered.

“Women’s health in harm’s way,” belched and burped the front-page headline on Alex’s The Devil Lives in Texas story.

I had to cover my hands to read the story. The newspaper was soggy from the residue of Alex’s on-demand years.

The good news is that moral justice – so far – has prevailed.

If Alex’s statistical reporting is accurate, half of Planned Parenthood’s abortion factories have been shut down. Thirty-four remain.

As some liberals realize, Texas, yawn, is a big state.

Here is what seems to peeve Alex most.

She reports that in 2011 when the Legislature sharply reduced funding for “family planning” clinics. One quarter of the abortion factories closed.

That led to angst.  Open your tearducts because here came Alex’s jackpot line, liberals’ favorite when describing Texas and all those babies, darn, destined to live:

“A quarter of the state’s clinics closed, making it harder for women of limited means to get a range of other basic health services,” but mainly abortion. Some girls and ladies had to drive four hours – when they could have been home relaxing, enjoying “Wonder Woman.”  Or Fox News.
