Analysis / Bias
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America shows a right-leaning bias by promoting anti-abortion policies and endorsing Republican candidates.
The website features articles, press releases, and policy statements opposing abortion rights, often framing the issue in religious and moral terms. For example, an article criticizes the Biden administration’s abortion policies, titled:” Biden-Harris Continue Weaponization of Gov’t Against Pro-Life States and Unborn Children.”
Content on the website lacks diversity in perspective, as it does not provide counterarguments or neutral discussions on reproductive rights. Instead, it selectively cites sources that reinforce its stance, such as pro-life medical organizations and religious advocacy groups. Additionally, some articles contain emotionally loaded language, such as referring to abortion providers as engaging in “abortion extremism,” such as “Senate Dems Fearmonger on Abortion, Ignore Women & Girls Harmed by Pro-Abortion Extremism.”
The website functions as an advocacy platform. Generally, Its coverage prioritizes political endorsements, legislative efforts to restrict abortion, and opposition to organizations like Planned Parenthood. Due to its singular focus on pro-life advocacy, its reporting is heavily one-sided and lacks balance.
The website also frequently cites its own pages and affiliated content rather than independent medical or legal sources. For example, its “Life-Saving Laws” page, which promotes state abortion restrictions, links primarily to other SBA Pro-Life America pages instead of independent legislative analyses or government sources. Similarly, in “Planned Parenthood’s Fake Science on the Human Heartbeat,” the article disputes medical claims about early fetal development but relies on ideologically aligned advocacy groups rather than mainstream medical institutions such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This pattern of circular referencing reinforces its advocacy position.
