NYT : article on Rep. Joe Pitts seems to show a bias against those of faith as well as those who favor life

 NY Times article  doesn't attempt to hide  their bias with their wording in an article talking about Rep. Joe Pitts (R) PA chairing  the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health. That's par for  the course in the MSM , but also watch for  the religious bias in their tone....
Everyone who supports abortion is called an advocate of rights and everyone who is pro life is called anti choice or opponents of rights.  That is not unusual, we are used to liberal reporters using this lingo in trying to  gin up their supporters and persuade the mushy middle of the "rightness" of their cause as they  paint those who favor life as ignorant or old men trying to limit woman's rights or as one tweet said...."they want government just big enough to control your vagina." 
When quoting  Rep. John Boehnner, slated to be the next Speaker, they picked this one.

“I grew up in a small house in Cincinnati with a big family, 11 brothers and sisters,” Mr. Boehner said. “My parents sent all 12 of us to Catholic schools.” At those schools, he said, “we learned about deeper values, and respect for life was at the top of that list.”

or Rep. Pitts....
"Mr. Pitts, the son of missionaries, is the head of a Congressional group of about 70 social conservatives known as the Values Action Team."
Now they are not commending their actions, they are criticizing them and subtly or maybe not too subtly showing that their upbringing with strong religious ties led to  their restrictive, i.e. ignorant or as another tweet described them...

"Crusty old men hell-bent on restricting a woman's' right to choose &bodily autonomy"
