\"buzzfeed\"On Wednesday, Buzzfeed published a community contribution from Personhood USA which prominently featured Live Action’s undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood. The article, titled “8 Outrageous Things Planned Parenthood Was Caught Doing<\/a>,” was ‘liked’ by more than 10,000 people on Facebook by Friday evening.<\/p>\n

The list exposed Planned Parenthood’s dirty business by showing their ready acceptance of racist donations<\/a>, their misinformation about pregnancy<\/a> to women, and their lies about mammograms<\/a> and the health risks<\/a> of abortion–not to mention the scale of their abortion cash cow.<\/p>\n

Some expressed shock and surprise to see what Planned Parenthood was covering up. Others, including several pro-abortion journalists, were indignant that Buzzfeed allowed the pro-life article to be published and demanded that it be removed. Hillary Kelly of The New Republic<\/em> called<\/a> the pro-life article “insane,” but had no comment about Planned Parenthood telling a 13-year-old girl to keep the age of her 31-year-old boyfriend a secret<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RH Reality Check’s Andrea Grimes called<\/a> it “nonsense,” but made no objection to Planned Parenthood’s staffer trying to make a sex trafficking ring look “as legit as possible.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Jessica Valenti of The Nation<\/em> called<\/a> it “anti-choice propaganda,” but remained silent about Planned Parenthood’s testimony before the Florida legislature against protecting babies born alive after failed abortions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’d think some of those<\/em> things might spark indignation against Planned Parenthood for allowing them to happen. But the only outrage was against Personhood USA and Buzzfeed!<\/p>\n

The New York Observer covered<\/a> the controversy, pointing out that Buzzfeed was reviewing its policy regarding Community Contributions. One thing Buzzfeed wanted to make clear was that this pro-life post was not<\/em> written by the Buzzfeed editorial staff that brought you fair and objective classics like “The Internet Celebrates Texas State Senator Wendy Davis\u2019 Filibuster” and “6 Times Wendy Davis Was a \u2018Cool Mom\u2019 In Her Vogue Profile.”<\/p>\n

Thankfully for all those who value the rights to free speech and free press, Buzzfeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith told the Observer: “It\u2019s an interesting, and complicated, question but we\u2019re inclined to leave the platform as open as possible.”<\/p>\n

Let’s hope the big-abortion lobby that bullied Susan G. Komen<\/a> into submission won’t threaten Buzzfeed into silencing pro-life views. In the meantime, check out Personhood USA’s Buzzfeed page<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
