It’s not as if we haven’t seen this before. Twenty-seven years ago, a last-minute accusation of sexual harassment prompted the Senate to re-open Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings; the ‘he-said, she-said’ confrontation was a media spectacle, including prime-time coverage on the broadcast networks. When it was over, the Media Research Center analyzed the coverage, and found journalists criticized Republicans for being too harsh on Anita Hill, while criticizing Democrats for being too soft on Thomas. Here is that study, as originally published in the November 1991 edition of the MRC’s MediaWatch newsletter: Just when Judge Clarence Thomas looked...

he co-hosts of The View on Monday hammered Supreme nominee Brett Kavanaugh and took very seriously the sexual assault claims against the conservative. Joy Behar deemed them “credible” and called for the nomination to be delayed. On a day like this, it’s important to remember that these hosts are hypocrites who have a double standard when it comes to sex accusations. If it’s a liberal politician like Bill Clinton or Hollywood director Roman Polanski, they don’t seem to care. On January 5, 2016, Behar was confronted by token conservative Paula Faris with the rape and assault allegations against Clinton. Then-co-host...

Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) has chosen Dr. Leana Wen as its new president. She will fill the shoes of former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, who resigned after Planned Parenthood faced investigations into allegations it illegally sold aborted baby body parts for profit. “I am an immigrant,” Wen said in a Wednesday video announcing her role as president. She added that she and her family depended on Planned Parenthood for healthcare when they came to America when she was eight years old. “What we are doing is mainstream medical care,” Wen added. We must fight and “everything is...

Chelsea Clinton said in a SiriusXM interview Thursday that she believes it is “unchristian” to go back to a pre-Roe v. Wade America. In response to a question about how she stayed optimistic about her fight to keep abortion legal, Clinton replied that “every day I make the moral choice to be optimistic that my efforts and my energies, particularly when I’m fortunate enough to be in partnership with fellow travelers, hopefully will make a difference.” “And when I think about all of the statistics — that are painful — of what women are confronting,” she continued, “today in our...

A new ad from the British government is widely being condemned as sexist for implying women must choose between having a baby or wearing high heels and lipstick. The National Health Association ad was meant to promote emergency contraception (certain types of which may cause abortions), but even liberal women’s bloggers and commentators slammed the ad as “sexist.” A project of the Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust, the ad asks “Would you give up this?” alongside pictures of a high heeled women’s shoe and a tube of lipstick, followed by “For this?” and a picture of a baby pacifier. “In other...

Sarah Silverman — a comedian known for her outlandish and offensive statements — recently claimed that she knows more science than, well, science itself. In an episode of Hulu’s “I Love You, America,” Silverman claimed: “We’re all human, except for fetuses, according to science.” There’s just one problem with that: According to science, fetuses are very human indeed — from their earliest moments. According to the science of embryology: “Human life begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm (spermatozoon) unites with a female gamete or oocyte (ovum) to form a single cell called a zygote....

When 22-year-old Jessy first learned she was pregnant, she was in shock. At the time, she was a junior at the University of California, Riverside, the president of her campus chapter of Planned Parenthood Generation Action, and a reproductive rights activist. Still, she said she never quite imagined herself as someone who might someday be fighting for her own right to have an abortion. "I just didn’t know what to do for myself even though I knew what I would always tell others," Jessy told Teen Vogue. "Knowing that what was inside me kept growing as time progressed really did...

A new pro-abortion campaign aims to convince teens that aborting an unborn baby is no big deal. Organized by Advocates for Youth and the National Network of Abortion Funds, Youth Testify is a national campaign that encourages young people who have had abortions to share their stories, according to Teen Vogue. The campaign claims it wants to change the narrative and combat misinformation about abortions among teens and young adults, but it really only wants abortion-positive stories from teens. Young adults who regret aborting their unborn babies or had terrible experiences are not welcome to participate. The campaign currently has...

Last week, PJ Media contributor and Fox News guest Denise McAllister sent out a powerful tweet denouncing the abortion movement. Little did she know, days later she would be in hiding, scared for her life. When she went public about receiving death and rape threats, pro-abortion Twitter users championed the threats against her. "At the root of [abortion] hysteria is women’s unhinged desire for irresponsible sex. Sex is their god. Abortion is their sacrament," McAllister tweeted. "It’s abhorrent as women have flung themselves from the heights of being the world’s civilizing force to the muck and mire of dehumanizing depravity."...

The former president of Planned Parenthood told a crowd of impressionable young college students Thursday that abortion is essential to gender equality. The Cornell Daily Sun reports Gloria Feldt, who led the abortion chain in the 1990s and early 2000s, spoke at Cornell University during an event sponsored by Cornell Hillel. The title of her talk was “3 Truths About Sex, Power and Leadership.” Like many pro-abortion feminists, Feldt claimed that abortion (women’s legal ability to kill their unborn babies) is empowering for women as they compete with men for power. “Sex is about power, more than anything else,” Feldt...

On the Thursday edition of MSNBC's The Beat, host Ari Melber showed a pre-recorded interview with liberal actress Alyssa Milano in which they discussed her recent activism against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and her support for abortion rights. Melber also repeated the flawed polling which suggests most Americans support Roe v. Wade, and brought up Milano's invoking The Handmaid's Tale about a fictional American society that oppresses women. After beginning the segment by recalling the case of an underage illegal immigrant who was delayed from getting an abortion while in detention and Milano's recent video depicting the story,...

For years, abortion activists at Acadia University in Nova Scotia have been attacking a campus club that provides life-affirming information and support to students. On Aug. 26, the university Students’ Union succeeded in kicking out the group over claims that it was not in compliance with union bylaws, CBC News reports. “We took strong action. We acted very quickly to investigate this issue … and we quickly worked to ensure that their presence is no longer with us,” said Students’ Union President George Philp. Philp said the group provided misleading information and did not follow bylaws requiring at least 15...

An Indiana minister who claims to be a pro-life Christian testified against a religious freedom ruling Friday during U.S. Senate hearings on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Alicia Baker, a community development organizer and ordained Free Methodist Church minister from Indianapolis, urged the Senate to oppose Kavanaugh’s confirmation because of his decision to grant religious exemptions to the Obamacare HHS mandate. “If Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed, access to affordable birth control will be in jeopardy,” Baker said. “This committee and the Senate must weigh the harmful impact Judge Kavanaugh would have on the health and well being of so many...

The pro-abortion Women’s March has been paying abortion activists’ bail when they disrupt U.S. Senate hearings on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a protester confirmed Thursday. Stephanie Kenner, a 30-year-old political organizer who describes herself as a human rights advocate, told the Metro Times she interrupted the hearing Tuesday and was arrested for disorderly conduct. Kenner said the Women’s March, a pro-abortion organization with close ties to Planned Parenthood, paid her bail as well as that of other protesters intent on disrupting the meeting. “I really think if there’s ever a time to put your body on the line this...

During questioning today by pro-abortion Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono, Judge Brett Kavanaugh defended his decision in a key case ruling against the Obama HHS mandate that forced Hobby Lobby, Little Sisters of the Poor and other Christian-run businesses and organizations to fund abortion drugs in their employee health care plans. Priests for Life, a pro-life organization, was one of many that filed suit against the mandate and Kavanaugh ultimately sided with Priests for Life in its case against the HHS abortion mandate.The appeals court judge indicated the mandate was a substantial burden against the pro-life group’s religious views because it...

A new document has been released showing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is possibly open to overturning the infamous Roe v Wade decision that allows virtually unlimited abortions up to birth. The document is an email during Kavanaugh’s time working in the White House during his tenure as a staffer for President George W Bush. The document shows Kavanaugh questioning whether or not Roe is truly “settled law” and indicating that the Supreme Court can overturn precedent, even the 1973 president established in the Roe v Wade case allowing abortion on demand. As AP reports: Kavanaugh’s 2003 comments came as...
