It has been reported by The Sunday Times in Britain that 50 babies a year are born alive after "failed" National Health Services abortions. The article mentions several reasons behind this.
One fact caught my eye. A fact the American media has never let us on to.
Abortion on demand is allowed in Britain up to 24 weeks — more than halfway through a normal pregnancy and the highest legal limit for such terminations in Europe. France and Germany permit “social” abortions only up to the 10th and 12th weeks respectively.
The American media would lead us to believe that the abortion laws in the rest of the world are as liberal or more liberal than ours. Nothing about limitations in other countries are ever mentioned. Probably so they can keep the right for partial birth abortions and such.
Then, to top it all off, the Sunday Times presents a balanced view of pro-life at the end of the article:
The issue will be highlighted by Gianna Jessen, 28, who survived an attempt to abort her. She is to speak at a parliamentary meeting on December 6 organised by the Alive and Kicking campaign, which is lobbying for a reduction of the abortion limit to 18 weeks.
Jessen, a musician from Nashville, Tennessee, was left with cerebral palsy but is to run in the London marathon next April to raise funds for fellow sufferers.
“If abortion is about women’s rights, then what were my rights?” she asked.
“If people are going to talk about abortion, then it’s important for them to know that these are babies that can be born alive and survive.”
It's been said before that other parts of the world's media tells more that American media does. This one sure proves the point.
