I pointed out that the junior Senator from Pennsylvania continues to refer to a September 15, 1996 article in the Bergen Record that contained incorrect information about the number and type of abortions performed at Metropolitan Medical Associates, MMA. The paper stands by their story and has not printed a retraction and said publicly that they have no intention of doing so. So just because Senator Lautenberg found somebody who disagrees with the story doesn't mean it isn't true.
