There is no single issue on which American media opinion is more unrepresentative of public opinion than abortion. Gallup, May 2018: 
Note that fewer women than men think abortion should be legal in the second and third trimester. Yet how often is a pro life woman featured in any national media context?
This is not an accident. It is intentional, it is directed by media hierarchies, and it is the most toxic crackdown on a clearly legitimate debate regarding any domestic policy.
Imagine an issue where only 13 percent of Americans agree with the views espoused in 95 percent of mass media opinion sections. You don't have to. It's this one.
The media's gaslighting of the abortion issue is unceasing, deliberate, and for all practical purposes pretends pro-life women don't exist.

A good question every news opinion organization should be able to answer: how many from the 88 percent have a voice on your team?
