Democrats Pressure Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk to Remove Pro-Life Content on Social Media

Jonathon Van Maren : Dec 12, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

Rep. Jamie Raskin and fellow Democrats want to completely choke off the ability of pro-lifers to reach people online and to control virtually all mainstream sources of information about abortion.

[LifeSiteNews.com] One of the key advantages that abortion activists have in state-level referendums is their ability to almost entirely control the narrative (as I noted in First Things here and here and covered on the LSN podcast here). The mainstream media covers abortion stories from a pro-abortion perspective, operating from the same premises as organizations like Planned Parenthood. (Image: Unsplash-Szabo Viktor)

Thus, even if the New York Times or the Washington Post calls a pro-life leader during the referendum and quotes him, they are proceeding from the assumption that abortion is "healthcare." The presupposition means that pro-lifers are constantly on the defensive because those covering these important races are doing so with the underlying view that pro-life premises are false.

That is why the mainstream press chooses to use dehumanizing language when it refers to pre-born children in the womb, because the terminology we use matters. If every story about abortion actually cited the key premise of the pro-life worldview—that a child in the womb is a unique, whole, living human being—media stories would read much differently...

...A story from December 7, however, went largely unremarked on. Abortion activists have the mainstream press, and they know that Big Tech is on their team. However, many pro-life groups have still managed to accrue enormous followings on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and Meta (Facebook), including Live Action, which racks up millions of views on their videos exposing the truth about abortion procedures. Abortion activists are hoping to choke off this avenue for impacting culture and getting the truth out as well. From The Hill:

House Democrats on Thursday called on Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk to push back on the 'rapid spread of abortion misinformation and disinformation,' with the lawmakers saying people are being discouraged from receiving abortion services due to 'bad medical advice.' The Democratic representatives on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee said the misinformation and disinformation being spread online was putting people's health at risk...

Abortion pill reversal is, in fact, effective, and there are many babies alive today who prove it. Facebook has targeted these ads in the past, but the Democrats, led by Congressman Jamie Raskin, claimed that X has "removed posts for advocating access to abortion" while "posts spreading false information about abortion are allowed to remain on your platform." The Democrats then demanded that both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg take swift steps to deal with this pro-life "misinformation" and that they submit a briefing to the Oversight Committee to summarize their efforts afterwards...
