A pro-life publisher, associated with Live Action and the Thomas More Society, says it is not retracting statements that describe abortion as “killing.” The publisher is facing demands to reverse the language, and its attorneys respond that the characterisation is protected speech.

In its response, the group argues that describing abortion using moral and factual framing falls under First Amendment protections. Fox News reports the attorneys have “fired back,” saying the answer to the retraction demand is “No.” Yahoo News carries the same account, but provides fewer additional details in the excerpt, focusing on the dispute and the publisher’s refusal.

Across the reporting, the core points remain consistent: a request for retraction is made against a pro-life media outlet for using the term “killing” in abortion coverage; the publisher does not agree to change the wording; and it cites free-speech grounds for its position. The articles differ mainly in how much surrounding context they include rather than on the underlying facts of the dispute.
