She has an agenda ArGee, a reason to lie or otherwise distort. Her objective is not to provide unbiased facts about the day-to-day operation of an abortion clinic, but to see that those places are shut down. Taking her word at face value would be foolish.

Non-starter, Zero. Her knowledge may be what is driving her agenda. The fact that she cares passionately about something is not a valid basis for ignoring what she says. The information she provides may very well be (is, in this case) the reason she has the agenda.

In other words, her agenda may be based on the truth.

On what is your agenda based?

Shalom.

Possibly, but I'd need cooberation from an unbiased source before I took her word at face value. Part of the reason that I don't watch network news (FOX, CNN, etc.) is that I don't like my sources to have a bias. CNN has a centrist bias and won't report some stories, FOX has a right-leaning bias and while they might tell me what I want to hear, it's not always the whole story.

I think that you might be taking this woman's words at face value because she tells you what you want to hear, a little of the truth mixed with a little fabrication. An omission here, an addition there, all in the name of the cause; it's an easy trap to fall in to.

As much objective information as I can get my hands on. It's not easy, but I do the best that I can.
