A pro-life essay is on hold by an academic journal following “racism” complaints from a scholar.
The article, “Abortion Restrictions are Good for Black Women,” has been stalled for about three weeks since The New Bioethics accepted it Feb. 12, author Perry Hendricks told The College Fix.
Taylor and Francis Insights, which publishes the academic journal, confirmed to The Fix that Hendricks’ article has been “put on hold after several complaints were raised.”
“This is standard procedure for articles that are not yet published,” spokesman Mark Robinson told The Fix via email March 1. “A review found that it had been inadvertently accepted for publication before the final approval of the Editor-in-Chief of The New Bioethics, as is required by the journal’s policies. The Editor-in-Chief is now conducting this final review.”
