Numerous cable news hosts accused pro-life advocates of being motivated by \u201cwhite fright,\u201d misogyny, or cold-hearted indifference to incest victims and all children who are born. They also fundamentally misstated the facts about abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Now, pro-life advocates are setting the record straight.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-abortion activists\u2019 accusations amount to little more than \u201ca horrifying way to justify killing the innocent,\u201d Kristan Hawkins, president of <a href=\"https:\/\/studentsforlife.org\/\">Students for Life of America<\/a>, told me.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the worst lies that have been told about pro-lifers and abortion by the legacy media:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Pro-lifers are racists, who 2) only care about children until birth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CNN host Chris Cuomo accused pro-lifers of stoking unspecified racial fears on \u201cCuomo Prime Time.\u201d The desire to protect unborn human life is \u201cnot about science or consensus,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-fright-cnns-chris-cuomo-suggests-pro-life-legislation-about-racism\">said<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s about dividing lines, legislating to the far-Right, white fright vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems like the far-Right only cares about protecting humans before they are born,\u201d Cuomo added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy white pro-life parents, who adopted 10 children (including me) of varying brown hues, are the people who apparently \u2018only care about the baby until birth,\u2019\u201d Ryan Bomberger, the co-founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/radiance.life\/\">Radiance Foundation<\/a>, told me. Bomberger, who is black, said, \u201cIt\u2019s a tired pro-abortion bumper sticker mantra, but Chris Cuomo and other fake news media use it, because they have no intelligent response to the violence of abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In reality, racists from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/planned-parenthood-ny-will-remove-margaret-sangers-name-from-clinic-over-harmful-connections-to-racism-eugenics\">Margaret Sanger<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2014\/03\/04\/if-pro-lifers-are-racist-how-come-so-many-racists-support-population-control-and-abortion\/\">contemporary white supremacists support abortion<\/a>, because black and Hispanic women have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/69\/ss\/ss6907a1.htm\">higher abortion rate<\/a> than white women. White nationalist leader Greg Johnson once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y6IXbuAb3Hg\">said<\/a>, \u201cAbortion should exist. It should be legal. In some cases, I would say it should be mandatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While racists support the abortion industry, \u201cit\u2019s the pro-life movement that cares for women with free services and support, providing homes and services for women and their children, born and preborn, and are fighting for even more care for them,\u201d Hawkins said. \u201cStudents for Life, for example, has an innovative program, <a href=\"https:\/\/standingwithyou.org\/\">Standing with You<\/a>, to provide support for the 1 in 5 pregnant and parenting students in colleges and universities nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Science supports abortion-on-demand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cuomo continued that pro-life advocates are motivated by religious dogma, not science:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>You would think we would have impaneled experts on a special commission by now to see what the science says, right? But we don\u2019t seem to have the intellectual curiosity about this issue, because it\u2019s not really about science.\u00a0It has become a culture war. It\u2019s a political lever to use as a distraction from policy and solving problems, to allow people to get up in their religion, and their righteousness, over any sense of what science suggests.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While many religions have pro-life <a href=\"https:\/\/preachersinstitute.com\/2017\/02\/08\/fathers-orthodox-church-abortion\/\">teachings<\/a>, the scientific\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.princeton.edu\/~prolife\/articles\/embryoquotes2.html\">consensus<\/a>\u00a0has long held that life begins at conception.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cThe development of a human being begins with fertilization\u201d with the development of \u201ca new organism,\u201d according to an embryology textbook published in 1975, just two years after <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>;<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAt the moment the sperm cell of the human male meets the ovum of the female and the union results in a fertilized ovum (zygote), a new life has begun,\u201d said a scientific encyclopedia published in 1976; and<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe time of fertilization represents the starting point in the life history, or ontogeny, of the individual,\u201d said yet another embryology textbook in 1996.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cCuomo\u2019s embarrassing lack of knowledge of basic biology and history is typical of many in mainstream media who daily shill for the abortion industry, the leading killer of black lives. Instead, they attack the pro-life movement which fights peacefully to save the lives of both mother and child (born and unborn) regardless of one\u2019s beautiful hue of skin,\u201d said Bomberger. \u201cToday\u2019s Party of Unlimited Abortion was also the Party of Slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, and Voter Suppression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, the Democratic Party still doesn\u2019t see us as being created equal and continues to divide us by the color of our skin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion apologists also divide Americans based on sex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Pro-lifers want to control women\u2019s bodies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pro-life protections are really motivated by \u201cthe hard-Right desire to control women,\u201d MSNBC\u2019s Joy Reid claimed on \u201cThe ReidOut.\u201d She then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joy-reid-scotus-abortion-case-straight-out-of-the-handmaids-tale\">charged<\/a> pro-life supporters with planning to turn America into a dystopia straight out of a Margaret Atwood novel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I reference The Handmaid\u2019s Tale a lot,\u201d Reid told Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), \u201cbecause I\u2019m sorry \u2014 I don\u2019t think this is about children. Because these same people are not in favor of universal preschool or healthcare for kids. They don\u2019t care if kids are locked in cages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about women,\u201d Reid said. \u201cIt\u2019s about controlling women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hirono replied, \u201cYes, exactly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reasonable people can disagree about the prudence of immigration policy, Medicare-for-All, or having the <em>government <\/em>pay for a child to attend preschool. None of these result in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jgw4X7Dw_3k\">dismemberment<\/a> of an innocent human being.<\/p>\n<p>Hawkins says pro-abortion media personalities are trying to change the subject, because \u201cthe\u00a0<em>Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em>\u00a0Supreme Court case is going to be a public relations nightmare for Corporate Abortion, as they try to justify painful dismemberment abortions that are risky for women and cause agony for the preborn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo amount of spin can change the facts about late term abortion, but that won\u2019t stop radical abortion activists from trying to smear everyone around them to avoid dealing with the human rights atrocity of more than 62 million lives lost to abortion since <em>Roe v.
