Texas is ground zero for abortion<\/a> activists. The state has passed numerous pro-life laws<\/a> in recent years, including banning brutal dismemberment abortions<\/a>\u00a0and putting into place protections for victims of sex trafficking and the abortion industry<\/a>. The state has also permanently banned taxpayer funding<\/a> for abortion. And while all of these things have made the state safer for both preborn children and for women, it has also made Texas a target for pro-abortion activism — including from the media, which is supposed to be unbiased.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Vice was considering doing a special for HBO on abortion restrictions in Texas, and a producer came up with a twisted spin<\/a>: find a woman, try to convince her to have an abortion, and film it. The producer’s manager thankfully axed the story, and the producer was fired.<\/p>\n

In this instance, thankfully, a plan to exploit and manipulate a woman into helping a pro-abortion media outlet in crafting a story was put to a screeching halt. But Vice — and other pro-abortion media outlets like it — has been successful numerous times, make no mistake.<\/p>\n

Vice, for example, has published numerous pro-abortion articles and videos, including going “undercover” at a crisis pregnancy center<\/a> and calling pro-life restrictions “class warfare<\/a>.”\u00a0But Vice isn’t alone; the media at-large has a nasty habit of portraying abortion positively and covering for organizations like Planned Parenthood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consider, for example, the annual March for Life. Year after year, the media downplays attendance and gives it little coverage. The March for Women, however, received seven times more media coverage<\/a>. The March for Women was hostile towards pro-lifers<\/a> and refused to partner with the pro-life group New Wave Feminists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood is also a media favorite. When Planned Parenthood was caught lying about providing prenatal care services for women, the media tried to cover for the organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n
