When Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban in April 2023, less than a year after Roe v. Wade was overturned, he stirred up considerable controversy. It’s a significant win for pro-lifers, and it fits perfectly into the Handmaid’s Tale narrative that left-wing news outlets like the Washington Post are selling to Americans. Earlier this month, the ban went into effect. The result? A plethora of articles about the “terrifying new normal” that Planned Parenthood is now experiencing. Women who want to get abortions past six weeks now have to wait an average of 14 days and drive 590 miles to the nearest clinic outside the state, according to the Washington Post. As intended, it seems that it has become far more difficult for abortion clinics to kill children in their mother’s womb. (RELATED: Abortions Are on the Rise, Planned Parenthood Proudly Reports) Artificial intelligence, influenced as it is by the left-wing media, is just as distraught as the Washington Post. How do I know? Well, I asked Chat GPT 4o to write a 300-word article — and the results could have been produced by journalists at the Washington Post or the New York Times. It wasn’t explicitly biased (these things rarely are), but word choice is key. My challenge to readers this week is simple: Fact-check AI, critique the writing, and identify the bias. There are a few gems, and I’m sure you’ll be able to catch them in the comments below! Prompt: Write a 300-word article with sources about Florida’s abortion ban. Talk about the impacts the ban has had and the controversies surrounding it.  ChatGPT 40: Florida’s abortion ban, one of the most restrictive in the United States, has had significant impacts and sparked considerable controversy since its enactment. The ban, which prohibits most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis in April 2023 and went into effect following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The primary impact of the ban is on women’s healthcare. Many women do not realize they are pregnant until after six weeks, effectively eliminating the option for many. This restriction has forced women to seek services out of state, leading to increased travel and financial burdens, particularly for low-income individuals. Clinics in neighboring states like Georgia and Alabama have reported surges in patients from Florida, straining their resources and increasing wait times for all women seeking abortions. Healthcare providers in Florida have faced legal and ethical dilemmas under the ban. Many fear legal repercussions for providing what they consider necessary medical care, leading to reluctance in treating complications that arise during pregnancies. This hesitancy has sometimes resulted in delays or refusals of critical care, endangering women’s health. The ban has also ignited intense political and social controversy. Supporters, primarily from conservative and religious groups, argue that the ban protects the unborn and reflects moral and ethical standards. They see it as a victory for the pro-life movement and a necessary measure to safeguard fetal rights. On the other hand, opponents, including women’s rights advocates and many medical professionals, argue that the ban is an infringement on women’s bodily autonomy and reproductive rights. They contend that it disproportionately affects marginalized communities, exacerbating existing inequalities in healthcare access. Legal challenges to the ban are ongoing, with opponents arguing that it violates privacy and equal protection clauses under the state constitution. The controversy around Florida’s abortion ban underscores the deep divisions in American society regarding reproductive rights and the role of government in personal healthcare decisions.

It was perfect. We had a blue VW Vanagon with white daisies, girlfriends with very long, very tangled, very blonde hair, and a dense cloud of marijuana floating above. We would strum the guitar insistently singing Lennon stuff, and, in general, we didn’t care about anything as long as there was something to hug nearby. We had beer and we were so pro-peace that we drank all day long to celebrate. We put right everything that was wrong with the world with a little weed, some rolling tobacco, and some graffiti.  READ MORE from Itxu Díaz: The Cure for Mental Health Is Not More Alone Time We had concocted an infallible political speech, “Leave me alone,” and we were sure that wars are bad because people die in them, and, as far as we knew, dead people cannot smoke flowers or dance to Bob Marley. I have met some dead people able to dance to Bob Marley, but I don’t remember if it was before or after that party with which we replayed the summer of love in the house of a distant relative of Goa Gil. Peace. Prosperity. Equality. Freedom. All imperialism seemed horrible to us: We hadn’t read so much about the fall of Rome for nothing. In fact, we knew everything there was to know about that soccer team for which Fabio Capello was a midfielder. And, in general, imperialism sounded too little French and much too American, and that was the opposite of what we wanted; don’t ask me why. That, and that someone would hang the idiot with the dreadlocks who, sitting in a tree, endlessly recited verses by Allen Ginsberg.  We were accused of lacking culture, and that was just not true. No one had taken care of agriculture as we had, at least as far as individual crops illuminated by red light were concerned. As for our frivolity, I remember once we read something, and it wasn’t the Volkswagen owner’s manual. We went to Paris just so we could post a tweet about how we were looking for the beach under the cobblestones. The shock upon arrival was terrible: No one had invented Twitter in 1969. It just goes to show that Dorsey was a damn fascist. I don’t know what happened. After so many years hypnotized by graffiti and peace-and-love communism, we woke up in a Lincoln Continental Convertible next to a luxury hotel. There can be no alternative. Either our asses are resting on any old park bench, or we’re making bracelets for the rich in Ibiza, Cancun, or wherever being a hippie is chic enough to make the damn shell bracelet business profitable. We’ve even learned how to use shampoo. It’s unbelievable. Everything has gone down the drain. Now Ché appears in books as a murderer, and our idols dress as military men, hold office, and force people to line up under the sun, preparing their world conquest. Perhaps they have betrayed us. I’ll confirm it later if I have time, because now I’m late for Asley’s party in Beverly Hills, and I have to put on that white robe, the diamond sandals, and that gold pendant in the shape of a marijuana leaf that suits me so well. I haven’t asked the host if the Castros, Maduro, Kim Jong Un, Kirchner, and the whole gang are coming. If they do, I’m sure we’ll end up drunk and expropriating something random like in the old days when we fixed all the world’s problems with an LSD trip. Now that was high politics.
