A source close to Justin Bieber says the pop singer was misquoted twice in a controversial Rolling Stone article, said the New York Daily News. The article quotes Bieber, 16, as saying abortion is “like killing a baby,” but the source says Bieber meant that as a question. Rolling Stone reporter Vanessa Grigoriadis insists the quote’s phrasing is “100 percent correct.” When asked about abortion in cases of rape, Bieber is quoted as saying “everything happens for a reason.” The magazine has admitted to making an “editing error” by omitting Bieber’s next sentence, “I don’t know how that would be a reason.”
