Facebook has removed a fact check from a video posted by an anti-abortion group after Republican senators accused the platform of censorship.
The moves comes after the group, Live Action, as well as Republican lawmakers, complained after Facebook’s third-party fact-checkers deemed that a video in which the group’s president, Lila Rose, claims that “abortion is never medically necessary” was inaccurate.
They argued that the fact check was not impartial because two of the physicians involved in reviewing the claim are pro-choice.
SNIP
Truth should rise above bias.
But it could be such a small number of the abortions that the person making the statement never encountered that situation.
I’m glad Facebook has removed what amounted to censorship of an anti-abortion speaker, but I think what she stated really is incorrect. ‘Abortion is never medically necessary”.
Really? I’ve always heard that there are such times when the mother’s life could be in jeopardy due to a continued pregnancy. For instance, if a stillborn fetus is not quickly removed. This may lead to sepsis. Am I wrong?
Any reasons they don’t provide the details of that medical problem?
“Any reasons they don’t provide the details of that medical problem?”
Yeah, because it never happens.
Birthing a still-born is not abortion.
Spin as if your life depended on it FarceBook.
I thought a tubal pregnancy had to be aborted, for the life of the mother.
Fascistbook strikes again.
Also if the baby attaches in the Fallopian tube. Can the baby be then placed in the uterus? Asking for a friend.
I would need to refer you to Freeper Morganna for that question. Think she is or was a Baby Nurse.
I’m not a Dr (although I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night)but I do not believe that is possible. An embryo that implants in the fallopian tube would not be able to be “reimplanted” in the uterus. And for those who say those pregnancies must be removed for the life of the mother, that is true although I don’t consider that procedure to be an abortion. Nor do I think delivering a stillborn is abortion- you are simply put into artificial labor and deliver normally. I have friends who had to do this (incredibly sad and painful).
DuckDuckGo as an exercise to the reader.
Lila Rose explains on her website why doctors do not have to kill the child to save the mother.
