  • On 25 January 2019, the website SoRightItHurts.com published an article reporting that New York's abortion law was far worse than the site had imagined, as it included a provision that would allow red ribbon nurses to kill pre-term babies abandoned after birth and discard them as medical waste: This was not a genuine news article. SoRightItHurts.com is an entertainment website that purports to practice parody through mockery: The website also carries a disclaimer labeling its content as parody, and the article's author, Mary Parsons, notes in her bio that all of her work for the website is fiction: The state of New York truly did enact new law concerning abortion in January 2019 which was criticized by pro-life advocates for supposedly allowing abortion up to birth, but the state's Reproductive Health Act (RHA) did not contain any provisions concerning Red Ribbon Nurses. (The full text of the act can be read here.) Many articles about the RHA have asserted that it would allow women to undergo abortions at any point during their pregnancies. The law does allow for late-term abortions, but only under the circumstances that the mother's health or life is at risk or the fetus is not viable. (en)
