"If the
pro abortionists were not in control of the press, I am convinced that
not only would the debate on abortion be over by now (have we really
even had a national debate?), but the prolife side would be victorious
because we would have seen the pictures every night on television of
what is taking place behind the doors of the abortion clinics and
hospitals"

 In today's society, it
seems that a great deal of what we learn comes from the mainstream media via newspapers
and television. Interviews with 240 journalists and editors in the media elite
indicate that a full 90% of them approve of abortion for almost any reason.
Given this, is it any wonder tha

This
"pro-abortion viewpoint," however, couldn't be further from the truth.
Overall, 71% of Americans oppose 97% or more of all abortions in
the United States. |

| Here are some examples of media bias from
the best seller "Prolife Answers to Pro Choice Arguments:" |
- The Los Angeles Times has required its writers to use the terms pro-choice and anti-abortion.
(Think about how negative the term "anti" choice sounds compared with the
universally accepted term, Pro-Life)
|
- Lisa Myers of NBC said, " Some of the stories I have read or seen have
almost seemed like cheerleading for the prochoice side."
|
- Ethan Bronner of the Boston Globe said "I think that when abortion opponents
complain about a bias in newsrooms against their cause, they're absolutely right."
|
- Richard Harwood of the Washington Post said his paper's coverage of a prolife
event was "shabby," and admitted, "This affair has left a blot on the
paper's professional reputation."
|
- David Shaw of the Los Angeles Times gives many illustrations of media bias on
abortion, including this: "Abortion opponents are often described as 'militant' or
'strident." Such characterizations are seldom used to describe abortion rights
advocates, many of whom can be militant or strident -- or both."

 Given this media bias, it's
clear how our society has been swayed with misinformation. Is it any wonder that
many people are adamantly "for" abortion, yet possess so little knowledge about
the true physical reality of the act itself? Take a tour through AbortionTV, and
learn what pro-abortionists and the media don't want you to see.
