CBS abortion reporter joins Planned Parenthood
Washington Examiner ^ | 27 Apr 2021 | Stephen L Miller

Posted on 04/27/2022 2:31:38 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Almost instantly upon resigning from CBS News, Smith’s Twitter feed was full of dedicated pro-abortion narratives about fetal heartbeat bills. While at CBS News, she framed Texas’s abortion law as the “so-called heartbeat” bill.

Smith had already adopted the language and euphemisms of the pro-abortion Left while posing as a neutral reporter simply sitting down for interviews. As National Review also notes, “When Alexis McGill-Johnson became acting president of Planned Parenthood last summer, her first public interview went to — who else? — Kate Smith, who opened their conversation with a broad smile and a hearty, ‘Congratulations on the new job!'”

The issue at hand is not abortion. There are plenty of other talented experts and writers on the subject of life and ending life. Rather, it is how Smith’s move sheds light on the often extreme internal bias of journalists. Planned Parenthood has spent enormous blood and treasure locking up the national media in its favor, once even offering the Maggie Awards for journalists. These recognize “exceptional achievement by the media in presentation and coverage of reproductive rights and health care issues, including contraception, sexuality education, teen pregnancy, abortion, and international family planning.” The awards were terminated early in 2015.

Planned Parenthood... it really means No Parenthood. And Margaret Sanger was a murderous eugenicist.

The title suggests there won’t be any objective reporting from this person moving forward.

Margaret Sanger was a racist eugenicist who supported mass sterilization and birth control, but she was actually opposed to abortion. She founded PP but died in 1966 before they became the country’s leading abortion mills.

Always wonder what has happened to a person so zealous about abortion. Sometimes they’ve had one and are too prideful and self-righteous to admit they’ve done something wrong. For all her coverage of abortion do you suppose she has ever truly gotten down to the blood and guts reality of it? Use of euphemisms suggests no.

Went to her Twitter and she cites a study saying medication abortions can be safe without an in-person visit. And women can also end up doubled up in pain on the bathroom floor bleeding out, though you’ll never hear it on the news.

Sanger didn’t actually support abortion, though.

Yeah, we’ll just pretend birth control isn’t abortion and her words of encouraging infanticide is any different and her insistence that skillfully performed abortions were all a privilege a woman has:

Margaret Sanger’s Multifaceted Defense of Abortion and Infanticide
Anne Barbeau Gardiner

Excerpt:
A close reading of the works of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, reveals that she was a champion not just of contraception, as is usually thought, but also of abortion and infanticide. She claimed that there was a natural “evolution” from infanticide to abortion to contraception, with all three stages of fertility-control offering legitimate ways for women to avoid what she called “involuntary motherhood.” Moreover, if contracep- tives proved not to be foolproof, she saw no reason not to fall back on abortion (if it were “skilled”) and infanticide. Indeed, she explicitly approved of mothers exposing their infants in ancient Sparta and Rome, as well as drowning their girl-infants in contemporary China. She regarded the right to kill their infants as evidence of women’s high status in antiquity, and so she excoriated early Christians for replacing infanticide with orphanages. To make her extremist views palatable, Sanger would often package them in sentimental and religious rhetoric.

Our local Phoenix anchor on ABC, Katie Raml, is an unabashed liberal. She was busted during the Obama years after it was discovered she was the emcee of a PP awards dinner. She’s still on the air, but she apparently was admonished about it. Guess she missed the lesson on impartiality at the ASU School of Journalism. 😖

Being an "unabashed liberal", her lack of impartiality is simply
shocking to me. Shocking, I tell you!

(Not)
