The show and its anchor, Aymeric Pourbaix, displayed an infographic that showed the top causes of death around the world in the year 2022. Abortion was listed as <em>the<\/em> leading cause of death, with 73 million preborn babies killed annually; this amounts to 52% of all deaths, well ahead of the second leading cause of death: cancer, at 10 million deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Though that number of deaths by abortion is accurate and is sourced from the World Health Organization, ARCOM said CNews failed in its &#8220;obligation of honesty and rigour in the presentation and handling of information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The show, En quete d&#8217;esprit (In Quest of Spirit), aired the episode on February 25. Afterward, CNews was heavily criticized and accused of being a dangerous broadcaster that shared biased information. CNews eventually apologized, saying the infographic should not have been displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>On November 13, ARCOM determined that the channel was <em>not allowed<\/em> to call abortion a cause of death, exposing how powerful the movement behind legalized abortion is and how desperately it wants to control what people think about abortion \u2014 including the false idea that abortion doesn&#8217;t end human lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Abortion cannot be presented as a cause of mortality,&#8221; claimed ARCOM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EbBJJzJpgoM?si=tQby1D8AdZ-T4oCF\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Marie Le M\u00e9n\u00e9, a medical doctor and head of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.fondationlejeune.org\/our-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lejeune Foundation<\/a>, an organization dedicated to the defense of patients with intellectual disabilities, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valeursactuelles.com\/clubvaleurs\/societe\/jean-marie-le-mene-avortement-la-loi-du-silence#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">condemned<\/a> ARCOM for imposing the fine.
