Facebook has begun censoring pro-life images that depict the brutal aftermath of abortion. Yet, in a shocking display of a double standard, it allows pro-abortion groups to post do-it-yourself instructions by an abortion doctor wherein the steps for a do-it-yourself chemical abortion are given.

If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably seen the “What I Do” application, an often lighthearted look at how various people perceive certain occupations. It didn’t take long for some industrious pro-lifer to create a version about abortionists, wherein the final frame shows the mutilated and bloodied corpse of a tiny baby. The caption underneath reads “What I Actually Do.” Facebook has censored the posts and demanded that anyone sharing the image remove it.
