The media bends the truth to turn Americans against the Right to Life.

John,
The media is an accessory of the abortion industry.
❌ They say “it’s just a fetus,” not a baby;
❌ They say “sporadic electrical impulses,” not a heartbeat;
❌ Or the one I absolutely hate the most: they say “reproductive justice,” not ending a human life.
Reporters bend the truth to make every American believe that our fight to protect the God-given Right to Life is nothing but an anti-scientific hate-filled conspiracy to control women.
John, the media’s pro-abortion slant isn’t just irritating, it’s deadly.
In fact, as we’ve seen this week, the media’s abortion agenda can put Texans’ lives in jeopardy. Let me explain.
In 2021, after we spearheaded the passage of the Texas Heartbeat Act and were sued 14 times by pro-abortion groups, reporters called our office nonstop. In 2021 and 2022, our team did 600 media interviews and reached worldwide viewers 85 BILLION times.
Doing back-to-back repetitive Zoom and phone interviews with pro-abortion coastal elite reporters was not the most joy I’ve had in working for the Pro-Life movement. However, it is absolutely necessary that Texas Right to Life was on the front lines of these stories to defend Pro-Life values, correct the record, and stand for truth.
When you donate ([link removed]) to Texas Right to Life, you fight back against the pro-abortion narrative and spread the Pro-Life message across the world.
Now the media says that life-saving Pro-Life laws are putting women’s lives in danger. Media outlets have been claiming for the last year that Texas law does not allow physicians to intervene if a woman’s pregnancy endangers her life. They predicted the laws will cause confusion among doctors. The reality is that their consistent repeating of Planned Parenthood’s talking points caused confusion among physicians in Texas.
Between the legal definition of abortion and medical emergency, Texas law is clear that a doctor in Texas can medically intervene immediately if a pregnant woman has an ectopic pregnancy, a miscarriage, or a medical emergency.
We have constantly sent reporters the exact definitions in Texas law to make their job easier for them. They don’t care.
In fact, an MSNBC reporter this week suggested it’s “disingenuous” to insist that doctors should read the law themselves. Watch >> ([link removed])

Leftist reporters continue to misrepresent, misreport, and uncritically quote confused doctors in their stories without question.
Now, in 2023, we do have a dangerous circumstance where physicians believe that women must be on “death’s door” to intervene in a medical emergency under Texas law. This claim has even appeared in widely respected medical journals ([link removed]) . However, before the medical journals used this inaccurate phrase, The Atlantic, Newsweek, Houston Chronicle, and the Texas Tribune all repeated this script.
And now we see the outcome of the media myths: five women filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas claiming that Pro-Life laws caused their doctors to ignore their medical conditions. During their press conference last week, they claimed their doctors and hospitals said Texas law required them to be “on death’s door” before they could treat them. Where did these doctors get that idea?!
It is simple: Abortionists’ rhetoric + Media compliance = Dangerously misinformed physicians.
When it comes to any Pro-Life organization, Texas Right to Life is the most quoted and the most sought-after source by the media in recent years. Even though they are usually hostile and seeking to undermine our mission, we are engaging the media, correcting the record, and standing for truth.
John, will you give a life-saving gift today to expose and combat the pro-abortion agenda? ([link removed])
For Life,
P.S. Back in 2021, there was one mainstream media reporter who stood out to me as genuinely trying to understand the Pro-Life perspective and our vision for a Pro-Life Texas. Here’s her story. ([link removed])
