[See NewsBusters for more.] Looking for inventive new ways to freak out over the possibility that Roe v. Wade might be overturned, CBS Mornings journalist Holly Williams on Monday traveled to Ireland to find people to trash the “medieval” United States and compare this country to Egypt and Iraq. The segment featured not a single pro-life voice and minimized the truth that several countries in Europe can be very restrictive on abortion, more so than many U.S. states. Williams recounted, “Ireland is nearly 80 percent Catholic, and used to have some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world.”
