The AP\u2019s style guide was updated to direct journalists to put the term \u201ccrisis pregnancy center\u201d In quotation marks and to refer them as \u201canti-abortion\u201d centers.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2023\/02\/03\/disgraceful-associated-press-directs-journalists-use-crisis-pregnancy-center-new-abortion-guidance\/?utm_source=feedly&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=disgraceful-associated-press-directs-journalists-use-crisis-pregnancy-center-new-abortion-guidance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Signal<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The AP added this entry between Nov. 20 and Nov. 27, 2022, according to The Daily Signal\u2019s search of the Wayback Machine. The center&#8217;s description is in the guide. \u201cset up to divert or discourage women from having abortions\u201d Warnings to writers \u201cpotentially misleading terms\u201d Like \u201cpregnancy resource centers or pregnancy counseling centers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf using the term anti-abortion center, explain later that these often are known as \u2018crisis pregnancy centers\u2019 (with quotation marks) and that their aim is to dissuade people from getting an abortion,\u201d The style guide entry states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thomas Glessner, President of the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates told the news outlet that these guidelines are important for journalists. \u201cdisgraceful\u201d It was argued that \u201cif they actually cared about integrity, they would know that pregnancy centers seek to help women who are facing unplanned pregnancies with material and emotional support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press\u2019 stylebook is the most commonly used among journalists and news outlets. The stylebook&#8217;s guidelines are generally followed, with some exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>The new guidance was welcomed by the pro-abortion crowd. Nebraska Planned parenthood advocates celebrated the style change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease see a recent update in AP style, which avoids the use of \u2018fetal heartbeat\u2019 bill since this legislation addresses neither a fetus (it\u2019s still an embryo) nor a heartbeat (it hasn\u2019t yet developed a heart),\u201d In a blog post, the organization explained that they were pleased to announce their decision.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Signal added that the AP also bans the use of the term. \u201cpro-life\u201d It also advises writers to use \u201canti-abortion or abortion-rights\u201d instead.<\/p>\n<p>The report continues:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The \u201cAbortion Topical Guide\u201d Instructions journalists to refer fetal heartbeats to as \u201ccardiac activity,\u201d Avoid crediting the \u201cabortion pill reversal process,\u201d Use the term &#8220;never&#8221; \u201clate-term\u201d Abortion or unborn babies \u201cpain-capable\u201d It will take 24 weeks for the baby to feel pain, even though evidence suggests that they can feel it at 15 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is just one attack that pro-abortion politicians and organizations have launched. <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/jeffc\/2022\/07\/19\/progressives-crusade-against-crisis-pregnancy-centers-shows-they-are-not-pro-choice-n597624\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Launched against crisis pregnancy centres<\/a>. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D.MA), has been tirelessly trying to reduce the influence these organizations have in decreasing abortions for years. These groups have been the target of numerous vandalism acts and firebombings.<\/p>\n<p>However, the fact that the AP would allow journalists to engage in blatant pro -abortion advocacy under its guidance is a clear indication that the group does not intend to be objective. They are part of why I call these outlets the \u201cactivist media.\u201d The AP\u2019s guidance is designed more to direct journalists influence rather than inform.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, RedState and other sane media outlets won\u2019t be adopting this particular part of the AP\u2019s guidance. However, activist media outlets that lean left will gladly adopt the new approach, even though they aren&#8217;t practicing journalism. They act as propagandists, spreading propaganda to promote a far-leftist agenda. This means that they must use language in a way to manipulate rather than educate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\nRedState Video Trending\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you need more proof that the media deserves to be called &#8220;the&#8221;, here it is. \u201cactivist media,\u201d The Associated Press released new guidance to journalists in November 2022 regarding how to frame abortion issues.
