Facebook Censors Pro-Life Group
Facebook is being accused of liberal bias (again) for censoring content belonging to anti-abortion group LiveAction.
Facebook described LiveAction’s claim that abortion is never medically necessary as “false” and “misleading” and posted a “fact-check” explaining why early delivery is not a suitable alternative to abortion in emergency cases.
“Preserving both the life of the mother and child by inducing early delivery [as LiveAction claims] is only possible if the fetus’ gestational age is advanced enough that it stands a chance of survival outside the womb,” Facebook said in a statement. “As this is not always the case, early delivery is not always a suitable alternative to abortion.”
Not surprisingly, both of the OB-GYNs Facebook tapped in writing its statement are pro-choice advocates.
“These fact-checkers need to be fact-checked,” argues Dr. Donna Harrison, head of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists. “They are in error to claim that elective abortion is medically necessary to save the life of the mother. They did not cite even one example where an abortion, the intentional killing of a living child in utero, would be superior to delivering that child.”
LiveAction admits that early delivery does not always save the life of the unborn, but at least it gives the child a “fighting chance.”
Facebook’s attack on LiveAction follows similar moves by Twitter and YouTube, which won’t let the group run paid ads on their platforms. In June, Pinterest added LiveAction to a list of blocked pornography websites before banning it completely.
“This is clear evidence of bias and discrimination,” argues LiveAction President Lila Rose, who in July gave a speech at the White House about Big Tech’s blatant attempts to censor pro-life and conservative information.
That same month, Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg donated $1 million to Planned Parenthood.
Editor’s note: It’s time to make a move on censorship. Platforms like Facebook should not be allowed to censor issues based on their own politics. One might argue that free speech does not apply on a private platform. But when that platform purports to be non-political, free speech MUST be applied.
Tell them Alice. Progressive bullies…”It’s my ball and I’m going home”. That’s the only way they operate. There is no discussing, no debating, and certainly no compromising. They are always right. This is not American values.
so why don’t you start your own version of facebook.
If we do will you sign up?
It is only free speech when it is THEIR speech. It is really difficult for them to pick only one motto. 1) By any means necessary or 2) Do as I say not as I do. The values our Nation was built on are being systematically destroyed. When these bullies get their way and it doesn’t work like have been told it will work, it will be way to late for them. The only reason the left in the government looks the other way is because they need all these bullies to help them take over all power. Then they will shut them down so as to not turn people against them when all the people see the errors of their ways. Wake up, America before it is too late.
it is a shame that we have these kind of shameful hippocrites in our socitey
I am pro life but a rape victim, especially one as young as.11 or 12, should not be forced to have that child. I know this goes against my faith but also feel the same about any rape victim. They were raped and to have them reminded of that in the most heinous way is wrong. Also, how many husbands would want their wife to die? I am sorry about my feelings but can’t change how I feel, especially about children being raped. As God is forgiving, I hope He wll forgive me feeling this way.
