This is like saying Fred Phelps is a Democrat...it's true on the surface, but it doesn't represent the party whatsoever.

Ken Buck: Yes, I am pro-life. While I understand a woman wants to be in control of her body — it’s certainly the feeling that I had when I was a cancer patient, I wanted to be in control of the decisions that were made concerning my body — there is another fundamental issue at stake.

The title of that article is a false assumption. Just because someone says that two situations are similar, that does not mean that they are saying that all aspects of those situations are similar.

Okay, hopefully this is the last time I have to explain this.  News article titles are meant to exaggerate and stretch the truth.  That's how it grabs readers' attention.  This only becomes a problem if readers just look at the title of the story and read no further, because that's just being lazy.  Can we please stop distracting from the main point with these petty nitpicks?
