In a so-called “fact check” of the vice-presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, CNN reporter Caroline Kelly presents a barrage of disinformation that hides the realities of late-term abortion and the agenda of the Biden–Harris campaign.
During the debate, Pence stated that “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris support taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment of birth, late-term abortion.” CNN, which begins each of its fact checks with the phrase “Facts First,” uses a flurry of falsehoods to undercut Pence’s factual statement.
The “Medical Term” Farce
CNN begins its fact check with an attempt to delegitimize the phrase “late-term” abortion by declaring it “is not a medical term.” This claim is flatly disproven by medical journals that have published articles with titles like:
- “Late-Term Abortion”
– Journal of the American Medical Association - “Late-Term Elective Abortion and Susceptibility to Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms”
– Journal of Pregnancy - “Late-Term Abortion for Fetal Anomaly: Vietnamese Women’s Experiences”
– Reproductive Health Matters
These medical journals and others, along with Planned Parenthood, abortion clinics, and media outlets have used the phrase “late-term” on numerous occasions to describe abortions that are performed from as few as 14 weeks into pregnancy to as many as 35 weeks or later.
More importantly, a vice-presidential debate is not a medical forum, CNN is not a medical periodical, and journalism guidelines bluntly instruct reporters to avoid medical jargon: more here
Lying CNN – America’s Pravda.
The fact that CNN even exists is a tragedy.
I trust that nobody watches CNN for factual content.
