<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Facebook is being accused of liberal bias (again) for censoring content belonging to anti-abortion group LiveAction. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“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.”</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Not surprisingly, both of the OB-GYNs Facebook tapped in writing its statement are pro-choice advocates.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“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, <strong>the intentional killing of a living child in utero</strong>, would be superior to delivering that child.”</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">LiveAction admits that early delivery does not always save the life of the unborn, but at least it gives the child a “fighting chance.”</span></p>
<p>Facebook&#8217;s attack on LiveAction follows similar moves by Twitter and YouTube, which won&#8217;t let the group run paid ads on their platforms. <span class="s1">In June, Pinterest added LiveAction to a list of blocked pornography websites before banning it completely.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“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. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">That same month, Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg donated $1 million to Planned Parenthood. </span></p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> It&#8217;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.</p>
