YouTube is following its predictable partisan pattern, using the cover of \u201cmisinformation\u201d and \u201ccontext\u201d to dehumanize unborn human lives. <\/p>\n<p>YouTube\u2019s purported \u201ccontext\u201d accompanying the videos reads \u201cabortion health information,\u201d with a definition from the National Library of Medicine (NLM): \u201cAn 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 procedure is done by a licensed healthcare professional.\u201d And though YouTube hides behind the cover of medical \u201cexperts\u201d at the NLM, like it did when it censored Covid-19 dissenters, it\u2019s notable that NLM is just another hub of progressive federal government bureaucrats within the National Institutes of Health that plugs abortion and has reportedly published thousands of papers on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2022\/apr\/19\/former-med-school-dean-starts-nonprofit-fight-woke\/\">racism and medicine<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>YouTube\u2019s \u201ccontext\u201d Disclaimer also includes a link to the NLM\u2019s abortion informational <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/abortion.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">page<\/a>, which suggests ways to abort a child: \u201cmedication abortion\u201d or \u201cprocedural abortion.\u201d The former is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lRDnVSMr5j0&#038;t=61s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chemically induced abortion<\/a> in the first trimester, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/15\/12-facts-everyone-should-know-about-babies-at-15-weeks-of-gestation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">during which time<\/a> babies\u2019 limbs, skeletons, and major organs are fully developing, their hearts are beating strong, and they can <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/22\/media-marvel-at-babies-reactions-to-flavor-in-the-womb-while-championing-their-demise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taste<\/a> and feel pain. In this type of abortion, the mother takes a pill that blocks nourishment and blood from the unborn baby, which kills it. The mother then takes a second pill to cause contractions and severe cramping and bleeding, leading to the delivery of her dead child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProcedural abortion\u201d after the first trimester entails a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=108&#038;v=jgw4X7Dw_3k&#038;feature=emb_logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dilation and evacuation abortion<\/a> (D&#038;E), in which an abortionist dilates the mother\u2019s cervix and then uses a suction tube and sopher clamp to kill the unborn child by ripping its body apart limb by limb. The National Library of Medicine page linked by YouTube describes this in wholly dehumanizing terms, describing the dismemberment abortion as \u201ca procedure to remove the pregnancy from the uterus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under the \u201cLearn More\u201d section of this NLM abortion information webpage, it includes links to pages such as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/womens-health\/faqs\/induced-abortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Abortion Care<\/a>,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/familydoctor.org\/ending-a-pregnancy\/?adfree=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ending a Pregnancy<\/a>,\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/reproductiverights.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Know Your Rights: Reproductive Health Care<\/a>,\u201d but no pro-life pages or post-abortion testimonies discussing the horrific realities of abortion, such as this Live Action <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ffE17AnaKfE&#038;t=10s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> to which YouTube attached its abortion-sanitizing \u201ccontext.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screenshot-79-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281149\" width=\"724\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screenshot-79-edited.png 906w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screenshot-79-edited-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screenshot-79-edited-768x511.png 768w\" \/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption class=\"col-12 col-md-6 body-xs px-15 pe-md-0 ps-md-30 py-15 m-0 text-center\">Live Action<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAdding these Disclaimers is clear political bias on the part of YouTube against pro-life groups and messaging,\u201d policy analyst Clare Morell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/252518\/youtube-adds-abortion-info-to-catholic-pro-life-videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> the Catholic News Agency. \u201cRather than allowing for free speech and debate in today\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is certainly not the first time Big Tech has attempted to choke out pro-life perspectives. In August, after pressure from House Democrats, Google announced it would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2022\/08\/google-filtering-pro-life-pregnancy-center-results-people-search-abortion-clinics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change<\/a> its search results \u201cto distinguish pro-life pregnancy centers from abortion clinics in search results for people dealing with crisis pregnancies.\u201d In other words, Google would ensure that women exploring abortion online wouldn\u2019t stumble on a wholistic women\u2019s pregnancy center that would give them a different choice. <\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s YouTube is not new to putting Disclaimers on videos in the name of fighting misinformation, either. The tech giant has added so-called context to videos discussing Covid-19 too, and it even went so far as to suspend people from its platform \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/09\/cdc-admits-post-vaccine-myocarditis-concerns-that-were-labeled-covid-misinformation-are-legit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">including<\/a> Sen.
