A Media Matters study of 14 months of evening cable news programs found that discussions of abortion were weighted toward anti-choice speakers, which resulted in widespread misinformation on the topic. 

• 705 statements containing inaccurate abortion-related information aired on Fox News;
• 70 percent of Fox News appearances* were by people — including hosts, correspondents, and guests — who either identify as anti-choice or who consistently or mostly made anti-choice statements;
• CNN had three times the number of anti-choice guest appearances as pro-choice;
• 40 percent of all appearances on all three networks [Fox, CNN, MSNBC] were made by people who either identify as anti-choice or who consistently or mostly made anti-choice statements;
• 17 percent of all appearances on all three networks were made by people who either identify as pro-choice or consistently or mostly made pro-choice statements;
• 62 percent of all appearances on all networks — including hosts, correspondents, and guests — were male; and
• There was one appearance by a group that represents and advocates for reproductive rights for women of color.
