Telemundo Anchor: BABIES Have No Heartbeat at 6 Weeks

March 5th, 2022 7:05 PM

A Telemundo report on Florida's HB5 bill banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy -- now headed to Governor Ron DeSantis for signature -- ended up confirming that indeed, at six weeks, a baby is … a baby, though that was the last thing Hoy Día anchor Nacho Lozano had in mind.

While the show's news team consisting of anchors Lozano, Nicole Suárez and reporter Arlety González Chile reported about the nuances of the “extremely controversial issue” that “is a severe blow to women's rights and freedoms”, the subject wandered off to the "restrictive" Texas law limiting abortion to 6 weeks. To close the report, an irate Lozano tried – and failed miserably – to push his pro-choice stance that there is “no heartbeat” at that stage.

Watch:

 

 

ARLETY GONZÁLEZ: …Florida joins other states, like Arizona and West Virginia, that are on the verge of restricting access to abortion after 15 weeks’ gestation. On the other hand, we have Texas with the most restrictive abortion law in the country that prohibits the termination of pregnancy after 6 weeks. Nacho, Nicole.

NICOLE SUÁREZ: Arlety, thank you very much for the information. We know that for example, the state of California has offered to be a sanctuary state for people living in other places where these abortions cannot be performed.

NACHO LOZANO: Six weeks in the case of Texas, there is not even a heartbeat, right- of, in this case, the baby. Thank you.

Small step forward in that Telemundo now acknowledges babies about to get slaughtered as such- as opposed to the ghoulishly clinical "product". Nonetheless, it looks like Lozano is still fighting hard for a Sanger award. 

Once again, national corporate Spanish-speaking media insist on pushing their pro-abortion propaganda onto their audience, even after a poll revealed this week by Univision that a majority of Latinos DO NOT prioritize abortion. And while the Telemundo report did include the point of view of two pro-lifers vs. one pro-abort, they misidentified Senator Ana María Rodríguez (R) Fla., for Senator Lauren Book (D) Fla, who didn't get an id chyron.

One last thing: a big thumbs down to anchor Nicole Suarez who felt the need to frame the Florida story by spotlighting that California is a sanctuary state for those seeking an abortion. Simply awful.

NICOLE SUÁREZ: And now we'll talk about an extremely controversial issue; Florida is about to sign a law limiting abortion to up to 15 weeks of gestation.

NACHO LOZANO: Arlety González Chile is with us, she joins us this morning with the details. Arlety:

ARLETY GONZÁLEZ CHILE: Nacho, Nicole. Good morning. All that remains is the signature of Florida's governor for this bill to become a law, and once this happens it will go into effect in a few months, next July 1st. It is a proposal that has generated divisions; those who oppose it fear that it will disproportionately affect poor and minority communities.

Getting an abortion after 15 weeks of gestation will soon be forbidden in Florida. With 24 votes in favor and 15 against, the state senate endorsed the measure that now passes to the desk of Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to sign it

SEN. MANNY DÍAZ (R-FL).: I am pro-life. I believe in protecting life… I am against abortion. Sure, we're only cutting back from 24 to 15 weeks, but it's still 4 months.

SEN. ANA MARIA RODRIGUEZ (R-FL): I am pro-life, many people know that, and for me abortion should never be an option.

GONZÁLEZ: Bill HB5 provides for exemptions: a specialist can interrupt a pregnancy if the mother is at risk of dying or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality.

SEN. LAUREN BOOK (D-FL): we don't have an exemption for ….

GONZÁLEZ:  What concerns some lawmakers is that the law does not protect those who have been victims of rape or incest. This is a severe blow to women's rights and freedoms.

SEN. ANNETTE TADEO, (D) FLA.: The government should not come in now and force that girl to have a baby after she has already been raped.

GONZÁLEZ: According to Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration, in 2021 about 80,000 women had abortions in the state, and more than 4,800 of those cases occurred after 12 weeks of pregnancy. And Florida joins other states, like Arizona and West Virginia, that are on the verge of restricting access to abortion after 15 weeks’ gestation. On the other hand, we have Texas with the most restrictive abortion law in the country that prohibits the termination of pregnancy after 6 weeks. Nacho, Nicole.

SUÁREZ: Arlety, thank you very much for the information. We know that for example, the state of California has offered to be a sanctuary state for people living in other places where these abortions cannot be performed.

NACHO LOZANO: Six weeks in the case of Texas, there is not even a heartbeat, right- of, in this case, the baby. Thank you.
