‘True Compassion’: CNN Recognizes Humanity of Pre-Born Baby in Remee Lee Case
Statement from Live Action President Lila Rose:
Remee Lee’s boyfriend killed her baby by slipping her an abortifacient. This is a terrible tragedy – and I commend CNN for treating the story with the compassion it deserves, by recognizing this precious, voiceless victim as a “baby.”
I can only hope that CNN will maintain momentum in this regard. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s many victims have yet to receive a decent, dignified burial; maybe CNN will change course now, and refer to these victims as babies, too. After all, it’s a strange stylebook that demands “baby” for wanted children in the womb and “fetus” for unwanted ones – and a morally warped worldview that would accept such a guideline.
People of conscience – not to mention people versed in the basics of human biology – reject “wantedness” as a determiner of humanity. Remee Lee’s child was a priceless, defenseless human being. A baby. So were Gosnell’s victims. And so is every unborn victim killed by the abortionist’s tools or by a cruel drug.
CNN showed true compassion in covering the tragic story of Remee Lee and her baby. May we see more of this compassion, consistently.
Live Action is a youth-led movement dedicated to building a culture of life and ending the human rights abuse of abortion. The group uses new media to educate the public about the humanity of the unborn and investigative journalism to expose threats against the vulnerable and defenseless.
