Nearly a month after making a significant error in a story on late-term abortion, the New York Times has finally issued a correction.

In a May 13 New York Times story on a House-passed bill that protects the lives of unborn children during the final four months of pregnancy, the Times reported: “Prohibiting most abortions 20 weeks after fertilization would run counter to the Supreme Court’s standard of fetal viability, which is generally put at 22 to 24 weeks after fertilization.” THE WEEKLY STANDARD noted on May 13 that this statement was false–the legislation bans abortion starting the same week when some infants survive long-term if born prematurely.
