Pro-life video of the day: The Irish Times’ flagrant pro-abortion bias
by LauraLoo
This new video calls out the Irish Times’ bias in its abortion coverage – a good example of which is the inaccurate reporting on the death of Savita Halappanavar, which is now being used to push for legal abortion.
Inaccurate reporting led the public to believe Halappanavar requested an abortion when she did not. Pro-lifers are fighting to stop abortion from being pushed upon Ireland, a pro-life country with the lowest maternal mortality rate in the world:

Isn’t this familiar? A biased media which magnifies the small support for their opinions, and diminishes the greater support for those that disagree with them.
That’s not reporting. It’s called propaganda, and they should feel ashamed.
Thanks for the video, LauraLoo. With a media this awful, it’s amazing that Ireland has maintained its pro-life laws as long as it has. Good for them.
Abortion advocacy has no use for truth and less use for the health of women and their safety and the safety of members of their family. Abortion advocacy, as usual, is all about the push to get rid of those relationships for which you don’t want to be responsible.
“the lowest maternal mortality rate in the world” – and it’ll get even better once abortion is legally available.
Thanks JDC. LL <3
Love that accent.
Now, if we can just re-do the ad and replace “Irish” with “New York”, we’d be on a roll.
“the lowest maternal mortality rate in the world” – and it’ll get even better once abortion is legally available.
No, if Ireland is doing so much better at protecting women’s lives than countries where abortion is legal, clearly there is no medical need or benefit for Ireland’s laws to change.
Mary Ann. Giving birth has a much higher maternal mortality rate than abortion does. If women facing an unwanted pregnancy are permitted to abort then the maternal mortality rate will be lower. This is regardlesss of the maternal mortality rate achieved by better levels of medical care. There would be a benefit.
Oh yes.
The many “benefits” of abortion. Do tell Reality. Do tell.
Tell the thousands of post abortive mothers and fathers that struggle with grief and drug abuse and infertility. Tell the parents of daughters that have died by “safe, legal” abortion and the parents of sons and daughters who have committed suicide after abortion.
Ah the benefits of abortion. So wonderfully beneficial to kill our own children.
God help you man. God help you.
Reality,
There’s less of a chance of getting hit by a truck if you stay home all day. And since that probably won’t kill your child, that would be preferable to abortion.
Except that women are more likely to die after abortion than childbirth. Whups!
Another junk study from the usual suspects. No evidence of causal links, simply raw data showing that there is a higher death rate amongst post-abortive women with a couple of subjective hypotheses. Not caused by the abortion procedure of course. Shown in other studies to be most likely due to those women already suffering a psychological condition, health problem or drug dependancy before they even fell pregnant or had their abortion.
Oh yawn Carla. Pity no-one bothers to gather data showing how many millions of women are happy that they were able to end an unwanted pregnancy, get on with their lives and then have the children they want to have and are ready to have.
Abortion is 100% fatal for the unborn child, and therefore would be wrong even if every post-abortive woman was completely happy with her decision or the procedure was completely safe for women. Using the numbers most favourable to abortion proponents, the difference in probability of maternal death between abortion and childbirth is on the scale of 1 in 10000, about the same as driving a car.
There is no reason why Ireland should change its laws.
