Media coverage of the Planned Parenthood protests

On Saturday, pro-lifers across the country peacefully protested outside hundreds of Planned Parenthoods, calling for the industrial purveyor of abortion to be defunded in the wake of damning videos from the Center for Medical Progress. (Watch the videos or, if that’s too gruesome, read the transcripts at centerformedicalprogress.org.) Here’s how the media reacted:

Despite coming from sources that tend to have very different perspectives, these headlines are pretty consistent. But a look at the first lines of each article shows a little more variety: “tens of thousands”/”thousands”/[no number given] “pro-life advocates”/”anti-abortion protesters” against Planned Parenthood “abortion clinics”/”facilities”/”clinics,” also described as “the controversial health-care organization” or “one of the country’s largest health providers.”

LifeNews: “Tens of thousands of pro-life advocates across the country — perhaps as many as 50-75,000 people in all — protested at Planned Parenthood abortion clinics…”
