I'm constantly amazed at how people seem to think that their ignorance is as good as someone else's intelligence. Lila Rose's only qualifications for putting out a video are "Photogenic and Catholic". She's got a degree in history, not anatomy, not anything that has to do with reproductive health, not even kinesiology. Just history.
My doctor says I have elevated cholesterol. I actually have my doctorate in Anthropology. You know what I do? I try to lower my cholesterol, because heart disease kills, and he knows better than I do.
Think of how far we could go if not for the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Edit: I said "she has a degree in history" after looking through everything I could, I can't find anything that says she has the degree, only that she studied it.

This would be leas egregious if they had also removed the original video pending review of the fact check. But no. They kept the original video up while the fact check done by actual doctors is reviewed for accuracy.
What the literal fuck?
