REDBOOK MAGAZINE AND GENERAL MOTORS PROMOTING ABORTION

Using Awards and Falsehoods

NEW YORK, September 12, 2001 (LSN.ca) - On Monday, September 10, Redbook, in conjunction with General Motors' Chevy TrailBlazer, presented its fourth annual Mothers & Shakers awards honoring 12 women. The honorees included Hillary Rodham Clinton and Maureen Britell. While Clinton's honoring could be excused due to her fame, Britell is known only for her pro-abortion activism.

Redbook describes Britell as follows:
A third-generation Irish catholic, Maureen Britell was raised to believe that abortion was "something vile that only the bad girls do." Then she found herself 20 weeks pregnant with a fetus without a brain. She decided that she could not carry a child that would be stillborn to term. But what turned her into an activist was learning that abortion was not covered under her military pilot husband's federal insurance plan. The Britells sued the government and she became a spokesperson for the National Abortion Federation, telling her story to legislators and testifying against attempts to ban partial-birth abortion. Maureen, now 35, is executive director of Voters for Choice in Washington, D.C.

Apparently Redbook magazine is supportive of pro-abortion activism as the magazine itself has promoted abortion by denying the abortion-breast-cancer link. WorldNetDaily reports that a women's group has accused Redbook of misrepresenting research that associates breast cancer with induced abortion and the birth-control pill. The article, "Seven cancer facts you need to know now," published in the September 2001 issue on sale today, denies the existence of an abortion-breast cancer link, calling it a "persistent rumor."
