PBS (and its natural liberal fans) love abortion. Pushing abortion pills after the repeal of Roe v. Wade is heroic in their eyes. On Wednesday's PBS News Hour, health care reporter Sarah Varney spent almost ten minutes glamorizing an "underground network" of abortion pill distributors in pro-life states. It's "underground" enough that PBS helpfully hid the identities of all their heroines, avoiding head shots and using aliases. Transparency took a beating for these headless leftists, but the elitist media love the way it makes America look like a dangerously backward place. Varney noted six out of ten abortions are now achieved with pills, which is why Varney is touting these brave pill-pushers. She started by attending a training session for doulas: "Their teacher, who goes by Ashaba (ph) to protect her identity, is part of an underground network. She helps people in states where abortion is illegal get access to abortion medication…. Ashaba says this word-of-mouth network stretches south from Illinois to Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana." So she's the Harriet Tubman of infanticide. Why does she take on this risk? Ashaba says: "Because I have daughters, because I have friends, because I have loved ones that I want to see safe, and I know I cannot wait on a system that does not and has not cared for us."  This quote also aired in the show's introduction. Who is not safe in this equation? Unborn babies. They are killed.  PBS LOVES ABORTION. The intro on Wednesday touted an underground network for abortion pills: "Because I have daughters, because I have friends, because I have loved ones that I want to see safe. And I know I cannot wait on a system that does not and has not cared for us." pic.twitter.com/PYSUEN0lG0 — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) November 20, 2025 Varney doubled down on the "safety" note: "Ashaba shows us around her Louisiana home that will soon become a safe place where women can self-manage an abortion." More perverse lingo came when another pill pusher read from her text messages. One desperate woman texted: "I'm needing help with an unplanned pregnancy because I'm financially and emotionally unable to give them what they deserve. Please consider this is the first time I have ever asked for help with a situation of this caliber." Listen to that! "I can't give them a life they deserve," so what they deserve is....death?  The story was not entirely unanimous. Out of almost ten minutes, about a minute was granted to dissent. Varney allowed “Anti-abortion activists argue that women can't safely manage an abortion at home without a doctor.” The pro-lifer wasn't hiding his name or his face: JOHN SEAGO, President, Texas Right to Life: We couldn't have anticipated kind of the volume of orders, over 19,000 orders of abortion pills coming from Texas….this is getting pills in two little bags without medical instructions, without any oversight from a medical professional, without any accountability for follow-up care, or making sure that the drugs didn't have any adverse reactions to the patient. It is too dangerous for women and their children for us to just kind of accept as the new norm.   But Varney's heart was pounding for these brave pill-pushers, comparing them to the "Jane Collective" who offered illegal abortions before Roe v. Wade. Activist Elisa Wells compared this to slaves that were given liberating abortions: WELLS: I think it goes way back, even before the Janes to the whole history of midwifery and how women have taken care of each other and how women who were enslaved helped each other, using the Cotton Route itself, ironically, to help each other not be pregnant, often with the offspring of their oppressors. You know it's a pro-abortion piece when the word "baby" is never used in ten minutes. (Seago referred to "mother and child" once.) Instead they routinely dehumanized the baby: It's "ending a pregnancy," not a life.  Even the so-called medical information from the National Library of Medicine under the PBS YouTube video does this: "An induced abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy." PBS PS: Varney has set out to dismantle the "patriarchy" in general, according to her alumni website for Phillips Exeter Academy: Varney created Fountain Productions, a nonprofit dedicated to independent journalism on the consequences of the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade established the constitutional right to abortion in 1973. “There’s been a lot of great journalism about the seismic shift in reproductive rights in American life in print and radio, but [no] consistent place to do this on television,” she says. She and her small team produce News Hour segments and are creating two podcasts, Caged: The Origins of Patriarchy and Body and State, based on News Hour interviews.
