On Friday, the Bucks County Courier Times printed an apology after angry readers flooded the newspaper’s phone lines over a political cartoon about the situation at the Mexican border.
The cartoon, drawn by syndicated cartoonist Gary McCoy (whose work is distributed by Cagle Cartoons), shows a Planned Parenthood receptionist on the phone complaining about Republicans “ripping children from their parents.” Waiting for an abortion at the desk is a pregnant African American woman.
“Hi! We’re running a two-for-one special on abortions if you’re carrying twins,” the Planned Parenthood receptionist tells the pregnant woman.
“It was a searing criticism and, in retrospect, the cartoon handled both issues without the delicacy that might have helped make the point without alienating readers,” wrote Guy Petroziello, the editorial page editor of the Courier Times, adding that the cartoon drew additional criticism for its “racial overtones.”
