Family Values Organization Commends Attorneys General for Addressing YouTube’s Bias
A leading family values organization has expressed its appreciation for a recent initiative by attorneys general from multiple states to challenge YouTube’s bias in favor of abortion. Jennifer Roback Morse, head of the Ruth Institute, a global nonprofit dedicated to defending family values, commended the law enforcement officials for calling out YouTube’s evident pro-abortion stance against pro-life content.
State Attorneys General Take Action
Reports have confirmed that 16 state attorneys general have raised concerns about YouTube’s dissemination of “misleading” information on abortion videos. They have cautioned that the platform’s actions may endanger women by downplaying the risks associated with chemical abortions. In a letter first obtained by The Daily Signal, the attorneys general emphasized that YouTube’s bias against pro-life and pro-woman messages not only goes against American values but also violates the First Amendment and, in this case, the law.
The initiative, spearheaded by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, has garnered support from officials in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Morse highlighted the intrusive “abortion health information” boxes that frequently appear under pro-life videos on YouTube, providing false information that portrays chemical abortions as procedures carried out by licensed healthcare professionals.
Addressing Misinformation on Chemical Abortions
Morse pointed out the inaccuracies in YouTube’s portrayal of chemical abortions, noting that these procedures are often self-administered by women at home without adequate supervision. She emphasized the lack of concern for the well-being of women who resort to self-induced abortions using minimally regulated pharmaceuticals. An alarming statistic revealed in a video on the subject indicates that approximately one in 25 women who undergo chemical abortions end up in emergency rooms.
Bird echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of providing truthful information about the dangers of chemical abortion pills to women. She criticized YouTube for attaching deceptive labels to testimonials from women who have suffered adverse effects from at-home abortion drugs, labeling it as a disservice to women worldwide. The call to end the dissemination of misleading information that jeopardizes women’s health and to stop targeting pro-life messages was underscored.
