Facebook removed restrictions on pro-life news source Live Action on Wednesday and prompted the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) to start an investigation on the abortion advocates who falsely claimed a Live Action post was "false news."
The "fact check" was applied to two Live Action videos which claimed abortion was never medically necessary. They back up this claim by saying that in situations where the life of the mother is in danger, doctors can avoid purposefully killing a baby by simply performing a preterm delivery. In these cases, the preterm children can still be given a chance to live without being purposefully killed by a doctor.
After Facebook contacted the IFCN, the IFCN issued a statement saying that it will conduct a transparent investigation of the fact-checkers. To read more about this story, including the IFCN's description of its investigation procedure, click here.
