Political Stunt:
Gannett-owned paper The Springfield News-Leader dropped a scary story on Oct. 13 about Mylissa Farmer, a self-described “pro-life Christian” whose water broke at seventeen weeks, and who then began cramping and bleeding.

But, she says, they turned her away and refused to do it, supposedly because of Missouri’s abortion laws, and forced her to go out of state for the procedure.

According to her biological sisters, Sacheen Littlefeather, who died earlier this month at 75, wasn’t Native American.
