Without coming directly out and declaring their position, it is blatantly obvious the media have staked their claim to the pro-abortion side of the debates. (Hey, if they can alter “pro-life” to now “anti-abortion,” then their alleged “pro-choice” stance can also be rebranded.) Past reporting has been clearly sympathetic to the abortion rights crowd, and the collective outrage seen following the move by SCOTUS to send Roe v. Wade back to the states sealed their bias. To further show their slant, now they are looking into the aftereffects, and can only see bad news.

Namely, there are now plenty of infants being carried to full term. This is horrendous news, according to media outlets!

NBC News looked into Texas following the implementation of its abortion laws in the wake of the SCOTUS decision, and let’s just say the news outlet was not happy. In its report, where the outlet trends towards sounding racist, NBC seems upset that more Latina mothers were giving birth. “Hispanic women and teens delivered 84% of all additional babies in Texas,” NBC tells us. But glaring details may elude your notice when you have a supreme focus on one aspect of a story. Or, just as likely, those were ignored. Here are some of the stats they provide:

The number of children born per 1,000 women rose 5.1% among Latinas, compared to falling 0.2% for non-Hispanic white women and 0.6% for Black women. Among Latinas 25 and older, fertility rates rose 8%. Among Texas’ Hispanic teens, the rate rose 1.2%, or an increase from 27.22 to 27.56 births per 1,000. For non-Hispanic white teens, the fertility rate fell 5%.

If it sounds odd that a new law would somehow target one ethnic group in this fashion, fret not. NBC explains it for you.

Hispanic women faced more challenges in getting reproductive care, including abortions. “We don’t see any other reason,” said Elizabeth Gregory, the institute’s director.

The possibility is you do not see any other reason because you did not look elsewhere. It seems rather valid to at least question if another news item that was taking place at the same time as this abortion law went into effect could be a contributing factor. Considering we have not only seen a steady stream of new arrivals moving across the Texas border but that flow has only increased in the Biden years, it stands to reason that the uptick in the Hispanic births might have a level of causality with the immigration situation. NBC News is not possessed with such reasoning.

In another analysis of the post-Roe-rescinding era, we get even more fractured responses to babies surviving gestation. Axios, and many others, came out with reports of a recent study made that looked into the births taking place nationwide after several states toughened abortion laws and came up with a glaring result: there were tens of thousands of babies born because rape victims were prevented from terminating the undesired pregnancy. The clarion number most trotted out was 65,000 births resulting from rapes. This is a jarring figure; however, it is derived from a rather risible study.

Whenever you see uniform reporting in a sober fashion, such as we are seeing with this new report, you have to become suspicious. It sounds a little too pat and fits a little too snugly into the sanctified abortion messaging seen from the press. First off, most states that tightened abortion laws still have allowances in place for rape, incest, and mothers' life-endangerment cases. This blind spot is just the beginning of the problems.

As reported by Axios, they had to admit that this study is not based on any conclusive evidence pointing to the number of rapes leading to pregnancies and then how many of those were carried to term as a result of stricter abortion access. So where did that rather firm 65,000 births figure come from? Well…they guessed at it. Literally, it was all a hypothetical.

The research contained a lot of statistical assumptions since sexual assaults are hard to measure accurately in surveys. The CDC and Bureau of Justice Statistics data don't include state-level data, so researchers turned to the FBI's most recent uniform crime reports.

We...see -- “Assumptions” and “estimates” are what we are basing all of this upon in order for the researchers to make “projections” about the amount of rape-borne births. Oh, and it gets more ridiculous than that. That data the crack team of experts relied on to make their dartboard conclusions came from crime statistics in 2019 – years before those laws went into effect. This kind of baseless information is so flimsy that even Wikipedia would turn it down from publishing. 

Then, just to add one more layer of disqualifying detail that proper thinking people would dismiss outright (but explains perfectly the press salivating over these findings), wait until you see who was behind this particular study. The research team was headed by the medical director at Planned Parenthood of Montana. 

The amusement is in the entirely slanted approach by all of these outlets of seeing an increase in childbirth as a negative. This generated fractured thinking and reporting. Seeing too many babies being born leads to slightly racist approaches, ignoring a core contributing factor in Texas, accepting deeply fractured research, and not questioning at all the motives behind a partisan organization looking for negative data and ultimately manufacturing what it cannot find.

Regardless of all of that, just take them at their word: All these extra babies surviving is bad news.
