LifeSite Principles
Accuracy in content is given high priority. News and information tips from readers are encouraged. Valid corrections are always welcome.
LifeSiteNews.com emphasizes the social worth of traditional Judeo-Christian principles but is also respectful of all authentic religions and cultures that esteem life, family and universal norms of morality.
LifeSiteNews.com’s writers and founders have come to understand that respect for life and family are endangered by an international conflict. That conflict is between radically opposed views of the worth and dignity of every human life and of family life and community. It has been caused by secularists attempting to eliminate Christian morality and natural law principles which are seen as the primary obstacles to implementing their new world order.
LifeSiteNews.com understands that abortion, euthanasia, cloning, homosexuality and all other moral, life and family issues are part of the international conflict affecting all nations, even at the most local levels. LifeSiteNews attempts to provide its readers with the most useful and up-to-date information on this conflict.
LifeSiteNews.com attempts to dispel confusion and ignorance, enable constructive dialogue and help informed decisions to be made and appropriate actions to be taken for the good of all.
Who Produces LifeSiteNews.com?
The service was originally started by Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), a Canadian national pro-life organization headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Campaign Life Coalition, founded in 1978, was one of the first pro-life organizations to emphasize the international dimension of attacks on life and family. Along with a few other groups it pioneered pro-life lobbying at United Nations conferences. CLC president, Jim Hughes, is currently also vice-president of the International Right to Life Federation.
CLC’s international dimension spurred the development of LifeSiteNews as an international news service. LifeSiteNews.com is now a separate organization, is not involved in direct political action and does not support or oppose political candidates or parties. It is strictly a news and information service.
LifeSiteNews.com is now also supported by a U.S. counterpart organization and is expanding it’s US presence. US citizens have become our largest readership. LifeSiteNews.com networks regularly with leaders and other organizations around the world.

As I suspected, a purely agenda-driven site purporting to be a news agency. I put about as much stock in it as I do in news direct from NARAL.
I did find the story in newspapers from the area - without the sensationalism and with the OTHER side of the story as well. The lawsuit is real, the woman’s story highly suspicious. But telling the hospital’s side doesn’t do any fundraising for the “Right To Life” organizations, so why bother with it.
This LifeSiteNews piece is pretty straight-forward because all it really does is report what’s in the lawsuit. I have seen other LSN “news” stories that exaggerate, slant or make commentary. It’s fine to send out PR or commentaries, just don’t pretend they’re “news.”
