CNN is very selective in choosing which abortion “victims” they want to highlight. On Monday’s Jake Tapper and The Lead, They found an Oklahoma woman who appeared to have been chosen by pro-abortion advocates. Find a mom who was “forced” to abort her second child when an ultrasound suggested the baby would die in the womb or die shortly after birth. What could possibly be more unkind and objective than that? What a perfect idea!
By contrast, CNN isn’t going to a state that’s enshrined abortion at any point in pregnancy and highlighting a woman who’s having her fourth abortion two weeks before the due date. This might not seem ….cute enough.
Pro-life countries get the worst treatment. Jake Tapper described the baby-killing as necessary medical care: “Lucy Kafanov visited Oklahoma and spoke to one woman who was forced to travel out of state alone to Receive the medical treatment she required.”
In this story, Gov. only offered a soundbite that did not represent the pro-life side. Kevin Stitt saying “We don’t believe in abortion in Oklahoma” and apparently, some unidentified protester yelling at abortion seekers that Satan will get them.
KAFANOV: With no chance of the baby surviving outside the womb, Laurie made the painful choice to have an abortion.
LORI BROWN LOFTIS: This was one of my most challenging decisions. It would have been so difficult to bear that pregnancy knowing that I wouldn’t be able to bring my child home.
KAFANOV: This was not a decision you took lightly.
BROWN-LOFTIS: I didn’t make that decision lightly or easily.
KAFANOV: At 23 weeks pregnant, Laurie was forced to travel out of state for the three-day invasive procedure. It was a significant emotional and financial cost.
PROTESTER: Hellfire is what you’re about to get!
KAFANOV: Visibly pregnant, she describes being harassed by protesters.
BROWN-LOFTIS: Just the assumption that I didn’t want my baby, you know, I think that was probably the hardest part.
KAFANOV: He was a sought-after child.
BROWN-LOFTIS: Yeah, absolutely.
Kafanov concluded: “One woman sharing her painful journey, trying to End the stigma surrounding abortion and help others feel less alone.”
CNN ran the story not just in 4pm hour but also Monday at 7pm and Wednesday mornings at 4am and 9am.
Although this is an adorable package, one might wonder if Lori Brown Loftis really has a political mom. Is this someone chosen to tell a story that is sympathetic? An examination of her public Facebook account suggests she’s more militant than CNN implies. She boasts that she is “Pro-Women”, “Pro-Choice” as well gay pride in her “Photos”. Black Lives Matter demonstrations can also be seen in her posts.
Furthermore, there is an earlier “I Stand With PP” [Planned Parenthood] photo.
Brown-Loftis’ tragic pregnancy is not excluded. It does suggest she was carefully selected for emotional impact in this story.
Cyndi MUNSON (D), Oklahoma state legislator, was also mentioned in CNN’s story without her identification. She argued the prolife law in Oklahoma “puts us into a very dangerous position here in Oklahoma. Its life or death for the women” and that no one is concerned about the well-being of another person. On her Facebook page, Brown-Loftis gushed on her Facebook page in 2016 about Munson: “So proud to have such an amazing woman representing me and my values and interests. She’s also the only politician I know that’s so authentic!
