YouTube Called Out for Abortion Bias
“I’m so glad law enforcement is calling out YouTube for its obvious pro-abortion bias against pro-life videos,” said Ruth Institute president Dr Jennifer Roback Morse, PhD.
Sixteen Republican Attorneys General threatened legal action against YouTube and its parent company Google over their misleading “context” warnings.
“At the Ruth Institute, we’re no stranger to those blue boxes under our YouTube videos, giving ‘abortion health information,’” Morse said. “Since we often interview pro-life activists, we see those obnoxious boxes frequently.”
Misleading “Fact Checks”
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird sent a letter to Google stating that these warning labels spread false information that “minimizes and downplays some of the serious risks of abortion drugs.”
The letter gives an example from a pro-life video by Alliance Defending Freedom. The notice says surgical and chemical abortion are procedures “to end a pregnancy” done “by a licensed healthcare professional.”
“Obviously, this is false,” Morse said.
“Chemical abortions are performed, not by a doctor, but by the pregnant woman herself, often at home, alone, and with no idea what’s about to happen to her.”
“The same people who have scared us for years over ‘do-it-yourself home abortions’ with coat-hangars seem utterly indifferent to the suffering of women from ‘do-it-yourself home abortions’ with minimally regulated pharmaceuticals.”
Perpetuating Lies
The pro-life group Live Action has an entire website called, “I Saw My Baby”, where traumatised women share their horrific experiences. Roughly one in twenty-five of all women who take abortion pills wind up at their nearest emergency room, but, of course, Planned Parenthood doesn’t tell them that in advance.
“I came to that point — of physical danger, emotional anguish, psychological torment — because the doctors and medical professionals at Planned Parenthood lied to me.”
“She was never warned about the intense bleeding and pain of a chemical abortion but was instead told it was ‘as easy as taking a Tylenol’ — a typical pro-abortion lie,” Morse noted.
“For approving the ‘safety’ of the abortion pill, I hope these attorneys general will go after the FDA next. But in the meantime, I’m grateful for their intervention against YouTube and Google on behalf of these poor women.”
“At the very least, women deserve accurate information. These stupid ‘context’ boxes do nothing but muddy the informational waters,” Morse concluded.

Dear Dr Jennifer, thank you for this salutatory piece. I do not hold out much hope that YouTube will suddenly become unbiased but I am thrilled that you are calling this one out. The more we highlight their complicity in bias the more folks might be awakened to their tactics
