The hearing dived into the reality of abortion, the selling of baby organs for profit, unethical experiments involving aborted baby parts, and the potential violation of both federal laws and medical ethics.

There will soon be another high-stakes Supreme Court hearing on abortion and the media have already chosen the narrative terrain on which they wish to engage the matter, framing the argument as over access to abortion pills.

The Supreme Court’s repeal of the Roe v. Wade decision in 2022 was greeted as a calamity by people who champion the right to abortions, which certainly includes the national media. But now National Public Radio found some happy news: the number of abortions in America is up!

PBS News Weekend ran yet another propagandistic take on how the lack of access to abortions and treatment of related pregnancy complications was the fault of Catholic hospitals: “Investigation finds policies at Catholic-run hospitals restrict reproductive health care.” From the introduction by weekend anchor John Yang: Tonight on PBS News Weekend, with hundreds of thousands…

The contraceptives, known as "emergency contraceptives," were included in goody bags handed to concert attendees.

With the notable exception of NBC Nightly News, the evening network newscasts fell over themselves to promote the historic nature of Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to a Minnesota Planned Parenthood clinic- the first of its kind by a sitting president or vice president.

Unfortunately, Friday’s CBS Mornings followed the lead of ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today in forgoing actual critiques of President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address on Thursday.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough recounts a family gathering for his last birthday, at which all his relatives present were republican, pro-life, evangelicals. And yet, they shared "horror stories" of the effects of the overturning of Roe. v. Wade, and found it "devastating." 

Just as ABC’s Good Morning America on Friday got weak knees over President Biden’s State of the Union address, NBC’s Today followed suit by swooning over the “energized” and “feisty” President’s “mix of energy, humor, combativeness” to deliver a “poignant” speech with “an optimistic view” on the economy standing up for “main street.”

After polishing the White House’s apples on Thursday ahead of the President’s State of the Union address, ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) were unsurprisingly hot and bothered Friday by what they deemed to have been an “aggressive”, “fiery”, “tough” President doling out a “feisty” speech in a “rowdy” atmosphere against a “combative” and “not” civil GOP.
