Pro-Life Publisher Defies Demands to Retract ‘Killing’ Abortion Label
Live Action’s Thomas More Society attorneys have rejected demands to retract their abortion coverage, arguing that calling abortion ‘killing’ is protected speech.
The Backlash Against ‘Killing’ Abortion
Earlier this month, the publisher faced backlash after their coverage referred to abortion as ‘killing’. The controversy sparked demands from some to retract the coverage, but the Thomas More Society has stood firm.
The Society’s Stance
‘The answer is No,’ said a spokesperson for the Thomas More Society. ‘We will not be intimidated into retracting our coverage of abortion. We believe that calling abortion ‘killing’ is a legitimate and protected form of speech.’
The Context
The controversy surrounding ‘killing’ abortion began when Live Action, a pro-life organization, published an article referencing the term. The article was widely shared on social media, and some critics accused the organization of promoting hate speech.
The Demand for Retraction
Some critics called for Live Action to retract their coverage, arguing that it was hurtful and divisive. However, the Thomas More Society has refused to back down, citing their right to free speech.
The Importance of Free Speech
‘Free speech is a fundamental right in our country,’ said the spokesperson. ‘We will not be silenced or intimidated into retracting our coverage of abortion. We believe that it is essential to have a free and open discussion about this issue.’
The Future of Pro-Life Coverage
It remains to be seen how this controversy will play out in the future. However, one thing is clear: the Thomas More Society is committed to continuing to cover the issue of abortion with accuracy and integrity.
