\"#4EachOfUs:This week on CounterSpin<\/strong>: The same day’s news can include a story<\/a> noting anti-abortion anger as an element in the “domestic extremism” the FBI is tracking. And one in which Joe Biden’s press secretary answers a question about the policy that denies US funding for foreign groups that perform abortions (or \u201ccounsel, refer or advocate\u201d for abortion) by reminding<\/a> reporters that Biden “attends church regularly.” And an obituary<\/a> of anti-choice agitator Joseph Shiedler\u2014a “funny,” “self-deprecating” guy, whose harassment of women at clinics the New York Times<\/strong> describes as “finding women who were considering abortions and persuading them not to follow through.”\u00a0 Amid all that, a book review<\/a> tosses off a reference to the post\u2013World War II period as a time when ”surprise pregnancies were an obstacle to a better life,” and abortion was “taboo.” We’ll talk about actual realities of present-day abortion with Kimberly Inez McGuire, executive director of the group URGE<\/a>: Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity.<\/p>\n
