Abortion

Thursday morning, NBC co-anchor Savannah Guthrie pressed GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on the Republican platform’s stance on the “unborn child.” NBC Today hosted a “Donald Trump Town Hall” April 21. During the live broadcast event, Guthrie asked Trump if he would change his platform’s position on abortion.

Planned Parenthood isn’t keeping it a secret anymore: the media are the abortion giant’s biggest ally. Last week, Fusion political writer Katie McDonough sat down with Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards to discuss “reproductive healthcare” in regards to the 2016 election. During the interview with the ABC/Univision outlet, Richards commended the media and Hollywood for “covering…

During an MSNBC town hall event with Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Thursday, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd dismissed the Texas Senator’s condemnation of Planned Parenthood by insisting that scandal surrounding the abortion provider was “made up.” 

Sí pero No.

Not Really.

In the penultimate segment of Thursday’s CNN Democratic Debate, Hillary Clinton diverted from the discussion topic about the Supreme Court vacancy to chastise CNN and all of the previous debate hosts for not asking both her and her opponents about the issue of abortion (since it’s an issue that’s such a firm plank of the Democratic Party).

During the daily segment on MSNBC’s Hardball entitled “Tell Me Something I Didn’t Know” on Tuesday, longtime British journalist and former Newsweek head Tina Brown touted the widely debunked claim that “over 100,000 women in Texas have tried to self-abort” since 2011 due to pro-life legislation.

Let's be honest. There is never a shortage of topics to write about where the HBO show Vinyl is concerned. As stated previously, it is a brutally honest look at the 70's record industry. So rather than write each week about how much drug use there is or how many sex scenes we see, it makes more sense to wait until the show crosses a line that isn't white and powdery.

Dicen que la política no está muy lejos de la cultura- y en el mundo de las telenovelas la cultura sigue siendo pro-vida.

Politics is downstream from culture, and telenovela culture is still very much pro-life.

Planned Parenthood has always used the media for messaging – but it’s rare that the abortion giant publicly admits it. Before attending a fundraising luncheon in Texas, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards sat down for an interview with local news outlets last week. Speaking with D Healthcare Daily editor Matt Goodman and Dallas Voice news writer James Russell, Richards called the media…

The New York Times can’t get enough of a new study published in Science suggesting door-to-door canvassing can enlighten troglodyte citizens into supporting progressive policies like gay marriage, abortion (alongside Planned Parenthood), and gun control. The Times had just embraced the study in its news pages a few days before, and now contributing writer Benoit-Denizet Lewis devoted 5,000 words…

If judicial review means that the U.S. Supreme Court is a de facto super-legislature that can in effect supersede actual legislatures, that’s fine with Washington Monthly blogger Martin Longman. In a Wednesday post, Longman acknowledged that certain SCOTUS rulings over the past several decades have been politically motivated, but argued that those were appropriate remedies for the “deplorable and…

In professional-wrestling slang, a bad guy is a “heel,” and in a Tuesday piece, Adam Gopnik likened Republican politicians to heel wrestlers who aren’t completely up-front about how nasty they are: “You’re supposed to be maximally crazy, but you’re supposed to pretend to pay attention to the referee…You’re supposed to hit your opponent over the head with a chair, but you’re supposed to pretend to…
