We do our best, at NRL News Today, to provide a rich variety of in-depth coverage of all issues that are of concern to the pro-life community. But NRLC goes beyond our stories with scholarly White Papers.
These are available at https://nrlcpressroom.com/
For example, “Checking the Fact-Checkers: Abortions Until Birth,” the  latest investigation that came out just last month.
The White Paper begins with this critique:
“Fact-Checkers Fail on the Facts”
In September 2022, Glenn Kessler, “The Fact Checker” of The Washington Post, claimed, “The reality, according to federal and state data, is that abortions past the point of viability are extremely rare. When they do happen, they often involve painful, emotional and even moral decisions.” Julie Rovner, the Washington Correspondent for KFF Health News wrote about abortions after 21 weeks in an article for The Washington Post, “Abortion ’until the day of birth’ is almost never a thing.”
They are wrong.
The NRLC Communications Department goes on to write:
Multiple “fact checks” by media outlets have concluded that abortions late in pregnancy and abortions until birth either do not exist or only occur in circumstances where there is a fatal or “devastating” fetal diagnosis.
These claims are false.
The following is a quick overview but you really should read “Checking the Fact-Checkers: Abortions Until Birth” for yourself. Â
Myth #1
Late-in-Pregnancy Abortions Don’t Happen
Myth #2
Late-in-Pregnancy Abortions Are Only Performed in Cases Where There is a Fatal Fetal Diagnosis
Myth #3
Late-in-Pregnancy Abortions Are Only Performed in Cases Where the Mother’s Life is in Danger
Myth #4
Late-in-Pregnancy Abortions Are Rare
This is a terrific resource. I will be writing about other White Papers in the weeks to come.
