LACK OF DATA:
The NUMBER of articles reporting this is irrelevant; they all cite a singular original report, that no one is willing to show us.
Suspicious?
Each Article Listed Above - showing no verifiable data:
(Bit of quick investigative journalism.)
Article #1 - The Newsweek Article
Newsweek cites a report from the Society of Family Planning, but never shows the report, and never links to the report.
The source of this unseen report, The Society of Family Planning, is an extremely biased organization that exists solely to PROMOTE and ADVOCATE for ABORTION.
From their website:
OUR VISION: "We believe in just and equitable abortion..."
* Recap: Newsweek cited a report that came from an entirely biased abortion advocacy group; the report was never shown, and never linked to... so no one could see it.
Article #2 - Guttmacher Article:
Guttmacher is an organization that exists solely to promote abortion; this is expressed right on their website.
Guttmacher is the only media source in this list that used their own research.
So how did their research go?
* They claimed abortion went up after Roe-v-Wade was overturned, and they presented a chart. But the chart didn't show this at all. In fact, the FINE PRINT UNDER THE CHART... LITERALLY ADMITS THEY HAVE NO DATA FOR THE PERIOD IN QUESTION.
* They literally just made stuff up... but you have to read the fine print.
Article #3 - PBS Article:
PBS is well known to be leftist in ideology, and here it merely quoted the same Report from the Society of Family Planning, which is a pro-abortion organization. PBS cited this report, but neither showed it nor gave a link to it, insuring no one can view the actual report. (The leftist media uses this tactic a lot, citing sources they never show you.)
Article #4 - Medical Xpress Article:
Medical xpress merely quoted the same report from the Society of Family Planning, the pro-abortion organization. Once again, the report itself is not shown, and there is no link going to the report. There is no way for anyone to see the actual report, and thus no way for anyone to verify or falsify the data.
GENESIS OF THIS STORY?
The origin of this story seems to to trace back to a pro-abortion PRESS RELEASE put out by
ConwayStrategic, a progressive lobbying group... professional, full time, leftist lobbyists. In this press release they give some info, curated info, from the aforementioned report by The Society of Family Planning (a pro-abortion organization). But even in this press release, the original report is STILL NEVER SHOWN. The original report is never shown, and never given a link. NO ONE on the left seems to want anyone to see the actual report. This makes me suspicious that there may be some funny business with the gathering of statistics.
CONCLUSION:
1.) Almost all articles simply cite the same original report... which they all refuse to show.
2.) If no one will show the original report, and no one will give a link to it, it makes me question whether the data, and claims, are entirely accurate.
3.) It IS POSSIBLE that all these claims are entirely true.
4.) However, until the proponents are forthcoming with both the report, and the methods of data collection, we have every reason to remain skeptical.
