As I read the Sept. 20–26, 2023, issue of The Epoch Times, I was struck by clear examples of how science has been corrupted in our culture due to agendas of progressive, leftist individuals and organizations. From COVID-19 to climate change, any scientific expert who dares question the assumption of “settled science” on certain topics is certain to find themselves the victim of ridicule, bullying, and outright slander.
Another example of this is with the issue of abortion and its aftermath. Long-standing professional medical associations and organizations—all strong advocates for abortion on demand without limits (e.g. American Medical Association, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Psychological Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization)—insist that abortion is safe, with very little risk of negative outcomes.
