In Florida, There’s a Growing Gap Between What People Say About Abortion and What They Do

The state just passed some of the nation’s most restrictive abortion laws. It also has one of the highest rates of abortion nationally. Inside the coming clash between politics and practice.

A state has a high rate of a particular crime, so they strengthen their laws against said crime. Big Journalism wants you to think that's an example of cognitive dissonance? Or hypocrisy?

Spin.
