CNN blasted over ‘individuals with a cervix’ article christiantoday.com
CNN triggered a social media backlash after referring to “individuals with a cervix” in an article about smear tests.
The article details the latest guidance from the American Cancer Society, which now advises women between the ages of 25 and 65 to take part in cervical cancer screening.
