Here’s the thing. I get why people want to talk about whether or not Rick Santorum’s wife had an abortion in her second trimester of pregnancy. Santorum is anti-choice like a motherfucker - he’s not just anti-abortion, he’s anti-birth control. So I really do understand the desire to call him out…

Doctors in emergency rooms have no right to refuse to provide medical care to someone who overdosed on heroin, even though heroin is illegal and many people are morally opposed to its recreational use. They have to care for drunk drivers, even though driving drunk is both illegal and a pretty universally assy thing to do. Why, then, should a hospital be forced to bend over backwards to accommodate people’s religious beliefs surrounding abortion, a legal medical procedure protected by the Constitution?

I’m sorry, but this is just sad and pathetic.
Are there stories to be written from the tech angle about tonight’s news? Of course — and there will be some good ones. But seven separate stories in the two hour span immediately following the news — none of which are more than 200-250 words — that’s nothing more than a blatant pageview grab.

Update: Make that eight posts now. This one was 227 words.
Update: And now we’re up to 10. Ten posts. Not one over 300 words.
Update: And we’ve just hit 15 posts. All SEO-infused, naturally.
