Onlythen did the press, reluctantly, report the story. Part of the reason stems from the physical makeup of newsrooms themselves. I would be willing to say you would be hard pressed to find a pro-life woman working in many media newsrooms. In part, it's due to indoctrination at the academic level. Today, many journalists themselves are social activists.
Abortion is a big time women's issue, at least for liberal women.
The result is abortion stories are slanted far to the left and society is forced to pay the price. And, in the case of a possible link between cancer and abortion, women, unfortunately, are the big losers. In his piece, Royko described how the elite press goes out of its way to buy the pro-abortion line in nearly every circumstance. Royko told how Ron Fitzsimmons, who ran the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, acknowledged he had lied about the number of and reasons for the partial-birth abortions taking place in America. It's unfortunate because the information we are trying to get out may have a definite impact on the lives of women.
