Associated Press Adds ‘Disgraceful’ Pro-Life Pregnancy Center Entry

Yet another example “news” organization taking sides in an admittedly divisive social issue. In today’s America “journalistic integrity” can only be viewed as an oxymoron.

The Associated Press added an entry to its style guide directing journalists to put the term “crisis pregnancy center” in scare-quotes, and to use “anti-abortion center” instead, to convey that “the centers’ general aim is to prevent abortions.” The AP added this entry between Nov. 20 and Nov. 27, 2022, according to The Daily Signal’s search of the WayBack Machine. The guide describes the centers as “set up to divert or discourage women from having abortions” and warns writers against “potentially misleading terms” like “pregnancy resource centers or pregnancy counseling centers.”  “If using the term anti-abortion center, explain later that these often are known as ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ (with quotation marks) and that their aim is to dissuade people from getting an abortion,” the style guide entry states.
