The Lancet has joined the\u00a0American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist (ACOG)<\/a>, American Medical Association, Contraception, and other medical organizations in their openly advocating abortion rights. The once prestigious United Kingdom-based journal\u00a0describes<\/a> itself as “an independent, international weekly general medical journal,” but in its May 2019, Volume 393 edition, the Lancet’s\u00a0editorial board<\/a>\u00a0made the decision to become an outright advocate for abortion, calling “the right to access abortion” an “empty construct in some states in the USA.”<\/p>\n

Quoting a statement<\/a>\u00a0of support for abortion by pro-abortion medical organizations like the American Medical Association (AMA), Lancet editors even stunningly degraded pro-life and religious voices — including pro-life women — who advocate for preborn children by asking, “So, among all this regressive, religious, and repressive law-making, where are the advocates for women?”<\/p>\n
