From the front page

Just a couple of headlines from this morning's Chicago tribune for your consideration:

Alito argued against Roe
Nominee questioned legality in '85 form (link)

and

Audit Faults FDA on Morning-After Pill

By LAURAN NEERGAARDAP Medical Writer (link)

Lawmakers are again accusing the Food and Drug Administration of putting politics over science in the long-running saga over whether the morning-after pill should sell without a prescription. A congressional audit released Monday cited "unusual" steps in the FDA's initial rejection of over-the-counter emergency contraception, including conflicting accounts of whether top officials made the decision even before scientists finished reviewing the evidence.

Discuss.

My guess is that the Tribune is using its front page as a leading indicator of its editorial opinion.
