Top academic journal to face 'legal action' after pulling pro-life papers

Pro-life researchers whose studies related to abortion were pulled by Sage Journals on account of alleged failures to disclose "conflicts of interest" have announced that they are taking legal action.

Lead researcher and Charlotte Lozier Institute Vice President James Studnicki accused the publication of employing "blatant double standards," pointing out that while it went after him and his team for their not going far enough in divulging their ties to pro-life organizations, it has not employed the same level of scrutiny to abortion-related researchers linked to pro-choice groups.

In a statement to The College Fix, the Charlotte Lozier Institute confirmed that their research organization is "pursuing appropriate legal action" against the publication.

"Our team of researchers has refuted every single critique about the research and we encourage all to read the studies to understand the reasoning behind the methodology and our rebuttals to the critiques," Studnicki told the outlet. "There is no legitimate reason for Sage's retractions."

Sage first revealed that the retractions had been made on February 5, three months after the researchers were first notified that a reader had contacted the journal with "concerns" about data and conflicts of interest.

Years ago, I wondered how exactly Bible prophecy would come true. How could it be that people in America would be persecuted for their faith? Now, I understand. We are slowly -- and sometimes it seems quickly -- moving to the point that Christians are deemed heretics who should not be allowed a voice in the town square. It could quickly move to being imprisoned for expressing a belief in the Bible and God. We are already seeing a bit of that in England as people are charged for praying silently in public. And, even here we have people charged with a crime for praying and offering counseling in front of an abortion clinic.

This is not going to end well for our nation or Canada. Thankfully though, for Christians, it WILL end well for us.

Our enemies laugh and sneer at pathetic “legal actions.”
