For the past few weeks news outlets and the blogosphere have been buzzing about the new world wide abortion study from the World Health Organization and the Guttmacher Institute. Most of the numbers are “lost in ideological fog” as Deirdre McQuade puts it, but that doesn’t stop people from reporting and commenting on what these abortion numbers mean. For the … Read More
Fox to Air Abortion Documentary
“Facing Reality, Choice,” will air Saturday, Oct. 27, at 9 p.m. ET on FOX News Channel. It profiles three women and their “agonizing decisions to have their babies or terminate their pregnancies.” I’m not quite sure how this will effect, or add to, the abortion debate as a whole. It will be a purely emotional look at why each woman … Read More
Some Objectivity from the KC Star?
I wouldn’t exactly go that far, but another pro-cloning columnist, this time in the KC Star, agrees that the language approved by the Secretary of State on a ballot summary for a human cloning ban is “confusing” and “misleading.” The best part of the whole commentary is where he admits that Amendment 2 did not ban cloning and that its … Read More

Actually the entire show was about ESC research, complete with a defendant with Parkinsons who went off his meds – ala Michael J. Fox – in order to … Read More
NY Times Update
Last week I told you about the hit piece the NY Times did on the abortion laws in El Salvador and the fact that the entire article was based on false information. The article claimed that Carmen Climaco was sentenced to 30 years for having an illegal abortion when she was actually convicted of strangling her newborn infant. Well, this … Read More
Exposing Media Bias on Abortion
Earlier last year Jack Hitt, a reporter for the New York Times, wrote an article attempting to explain the horrors of criminalized abortion, using the case of a woman who was allegedly put in jail in El Salvador for having an abortion. LifeSiteNews investigated this story and, in November, wrote an article exposing the truth. The woman was in fact … Read More
