Denver, Colo., Oct 11, 2022 / 16:00 pm Many YouTube videos produced by Catholic or pro-life organizations will now bear an abortion disclaimer and links to an abortion webpage, as YouTube claims that abortion is a topic prone to misinformation.
The move means many YouTube videos about Pope Francis, Catholic teaching on abortion, and alternatives to abortion now include links to abortion information that video creators or video subjects might reject.
Clare Morell, a policy analyst with the Ethics and Public Policy Center’s Technology and Human Flourishing Project, criticized YouTube’s addition of the abortion panel.
“It biases viewers against their messaging, to prejudge and dismiss their arguments before they’ve even heard them,” Morell told CNA.
“Adding these disclaimers is clear political bias on the part of YouTube against pro-life groups and messaging,” she said. “Rather than allowing for free speech and debate in today’s modern public square, YouTube is preferring one side and position over the other by adding these disclaimers. And attempting to prejudice viewers against the pro-life position.”
The affected videos show a “context” box with a link to “abortion health information” in the National Library of Medicine’s health information service MedlinePlus.
“An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. It uses medicine or surgery to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus,” the context box shows beneath affected videos. “The procedure is done by a licensed healthcare professional.”

YouTube
Accompanies Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Wonder how much of youtube is controlled by the government in one form or another.
Bet they don’t add prolife material such as 2,300 pro-life pregnancy centers in the USA to the pro-abortion crap........Wellll,the libs who run YouTube are terrified if blacks and poor women read that info......HORRORS,they might change their mind and keep their baby..........
Evil.
No other word for it.
YouTube is owned by the “don’t be evil” Google. Unfortunately Google strayed from their path in the philosophy of fair play and non-bias.
I'm all for using the fist of government to wipe out such companies.
What is the fixation about abortion and queer sex that liberals have been more and more obsessed with both starting in the early 1960’s? The first time I saw a prime time TV series show converted into an hour long commercial for ‘medically safe’ abortions was on the ‘Defenders’ in the fall of 1961.
