Fundies: YouTube is Pro-Abortion!!!!

from the No. 1 news source for freaky fundies, the American Family Assn.'s OneNewsNow:



YouTube 'not a friend to pro-lifers'

Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 10/17/2008 8:00:00 AM


A North Carolina pro-life group is upset with YouTube for pulling another video.

Students for Life of America (SFLA) is offended because a video of one of their undercover investigations has been pulled from YouTube. Kristin Hawkins heads the organization and states her case. "Last week SFLA posted a video on YouTube exposing Planned Parenthood in Charlotte, North Carolina, covering up statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl," she explains.

A college woman who was volunteering for SFLA entered a Planned Parenthood clinic in Charlotte, posing as a 15-year-old girl who had unprotected sex with her mother's 30-something live-in boyfriend (see earlier story). She told the staff at the clinic that he suggested she come get the "morning-after" pill. Planned Parenthood was willing to help her get access to the pill and also made an appointment for her to start taking birth-control pills without parental knowledge or consent. The Arlington Group, a coalition of pro-family organizations, believes supplying the girl with abortifacients would only prolong the statutory rape of this minor while covering up the evidence.

SFLA also proved that the crime was not reported by Planned Parenthood to local police, which is a violation of North Carolina law. Hawkins says YouTube's argument for removing the video is hard to take. "Their reasoning did not make sense to us," she adds. "They said it was inappropriate material; it had content inappropriate."

According to Hawkins, SFLA suffered the same fate with a previous video on YouTube, and another pro-life organization had four videos of their own pulled. Hawkins points out there are other questionable videos on YouTube that she believes need to be removed. "There's videos of a young man desecrating the Eucharist," she says. "Thousands of Catholics have been going to YouTube, asking them to remove (it), and you can ask YouTube to remove these by pressing the flag button."

However, that video has not been pulled. Hawkins tells The Arlington Group that YouTube is "no longer a friend to pro-lifers," and compares the website to "the oppressive Chinese government." To watch SFLA's video, visit http://www.studentsforlife.org.

2. It is obvious they do not understand democracy. UTube is people
voicing their personal opinions. Freedom of speech.
