You Tube meddled with research results on abortion. Did their CEO lie to Congress?

In Breitbart, Allum Bokhari reports,
Breitbart News reported earlier this week on internal discussions at Google showing that YouTube added the search terms “abortion” and “abortions” to an internal “blacklist” file inside the company. The change came after a left-wing Slate writer complained about the prominence of pro-life content in the top ten search results.

Among the videos identified by the Slate writer were of congressional testimony from former abortion doctor turned pro-life activist Dr. Antony Levatino, an unidentified Ben Shapiro video, a video called “LIVE Abortion Video on Display,” and a personal story about abortion called “Abortion: My Experience” with a thumbnail adding “my biggest mistake.”

Also in Breitbart, Dr. Susan Berry reports,
Pro-life leaders are reacting to information revealed to Breitbart News that Google has “huge teams” manually preventing anti-abortion YouTube videos from appearing at the top of search results.

The leaked information appeared to contradict Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s sworn testimony to Congress that his company does not “manually intervene on any particular search result.”

Also in Breitbart, Penny Starr reports,
Thousands of pro-life activists will gather on the National Mall on Friday for the anniversary of the United States Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion on demand the law of the land in 1973.

The annual rally attracts individuals from across the country who gather despite frigid winter weather to express their support for overturning the law and advocate for national policy that honors life from conception to natural death.

One more today from Breitbart: Charlie Spiering reports,
President Donald Trump addressed March for Life activists on Friday, vowing to continue protecting the unborn despite Democrats taking a majority in the House of Representatives.

“Today I have signed a letter to Congress to make clear that if they send any legislation to my desk that weakens the protection of human life, I will issue a veto,” Trump said. “And we have the support to uphold those vetos.”

The president addressed the crowds gathering for the March for Life in Washington, D.C., via a pre-recorded video address.
