Abortion and Mental Health: Does the American Psychological Association know the difference between science and ideology?
Warren Throckmorton has this post on his blog: Handicapping the APA abortion and mental health task force report. He concludes:
I think this is probably signals how the APA’s task force report will turn out. The good guys use good methods and the bad guys use the “trappings of science” and are being sneaky by “getting published in mainstream journals.” I guess the way to tell the good research from the bad is not the quality of peer-reviewed work but the ideology of the researcher. What I get from Clay’s article is this: When an APA-approved policy position is supported, it is science; otherwise, it is ideology.
