"during coverage of the anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, Fox News correspondent Shannon Bream reported that a recent poll found "81 percent of Americans think abortion should be limited to the first three months of pregnancy" without disclosing that the poll was commissioned by a "pro-life" group.

Bream did not mention that the poll was commissioned by the Knights of Columbus, a self-identified "pro-life" group, that supports numerous anti-choice activities including the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., and believes life begins at "the moment of conception." According to Catholics for Choice, the Knights of Columbus has waged "a decades-long battle against abortion legislation."

Carl Anderson, Chief Knight of the KoC, was a staffer for Jesse Helmes.
