In what was certainly a noteworthy event last week, Republican candidate for Nebraska Governor, Dave Nabity, proposed a specific, detailed legislative bill requiring the expanded disclosure of abortion information. Desiring to give woman contemplating this momentous decision much more information about abortion's many and serious risks, Mr. Nabity used a template first designed by the experienced legal minds of Americans United for Life as a model for his proposed bill.It is a much-needed action and I heartily applaud Mr. Nabity's efforts to highlight this important issue in his campaign. And, knowing Dave Nabity's pro-life convictions to be sincere and of long duration, I have no doubt he would work diligently to make such a bill become law were he to win the fall election.
So like I said, such a proposal is clearly of great import, especially in the heat of a three-way race for the G.O.P.'s candidacy for Governor -- a race in which all three candidates wear a pro-life mantle. So you tell me then -- why did the Omaha World-Herald fail to even report on Mr. Nabity's proposal? Other Nebraska newspapers covered the announcement. Of course they did; it was news. So why not the World-Herald? Could it be they've already made their pick down there and therefore prefer to ignore stories which might have readers consider the worth of anyone else?
