Washington D.C., Feb 6, 2023 / 13:21 pm The Associated Press (AP) issued new guidelines advising reporters not to use the terms “crisis pregnancy center” or “pregnancy resource center” but to instead refer to centers that offer pro-life counseling and support as “anti-abortion centers.”
Reporters should “avoid potentially misleading terms such as pregnancy resource centers or pregnancy counseling centers,” because “these terms don’t convey that the centers’ general aim is to prevent abortions,” according to the AP’s Abortion Topical Guide.
The AP publishes the most widely used style guide, which journalists and editors across the country look to determine proper rules for coverage. According to the Daily Signal, the AP made the rule change in November 2022.
In its updated guidance, the AP states that though the centers provide “counseling, material support and/or housing,” because their purpose is to “divert or discourage women from having abortions” they should be labeled “anti-abortion centers.”
The new AP policy suggests the term “crisis pregnancy center” be used only if placed within quotation marks and if it is explained that its purpose is to “dissuade people from getting an abortion.”
The AP instructs reporters to frame the abortion debate as “anti-abortion” or “abortion rights” and to not use the term “pro-life” or “pro-choice.”
Reporters are also advised not to talk about a fetal heartbeat when referring to laws that ban abortion after a detectable heartbeat. Rather, the guide says, they should use the term “cardiac activity” as “the embryo isn’t yet a fetus and it has only begun forming a rudimentary heart.”

The AP: doing the Devil’s work
Is it ok to just use the term abortuaries and to say their purpose is to prevent children from being born alive?
As long as we can call abortion clinics “Baby Murdering Mills”.
More Newspeak from the Ministry of Truth.
Since the Associated Presstitutes lie and obfuscate daily, will anyone notice?
So “women’s health clinics” can be called fetal murder offices?
.
Do they use “pro-abortion” or “pro-choice”?
It is so very clear that the media is the Democratic party’s very own Propaganda Ministry. They doing work that would make Goebbels proud.
The AP and other death cult worshiping outlets like to pervert the language.
I guess the maternity ward at the hospital is now the anti-abortion ward.
