If Abortion Laws Are So Bad, Why Do Fear-Mongering Democrats Have to LIE About Them

If America's abortion laws -- the one's Kamala Harris likes to call 'Trump abortion bans' -- were really as bad as the Left claims, it would be easy to find stories about those laws actually harming women.

Yet every single time the Left puts forth a story that tries to 'prove' abortion laws are dangerous and deadly, it turns out the reality behind that story is vastly different than the narrative they present.

It's almost as if abortion laws don't harm women, and the Democrats have to make things up to try and pass their radical, pro-abortion agenda.

We saw that with Amber Nicole Thurman, the Georgia woman who died from complications from a completed chemical abortion. She did not die from a miscarriage or any other reason related to Georgia's abortion laws, despite the lies from Kamala and other Democrats. Those chemical abortions are a method of abortion a Kamala Harris administration would nuke the filibuster to codify into federal law.

Here's another bold-faced lie from the Left about abortion, this time in South Carolina:

You'll be (not) shocked to learn the headline, like the X post, is a lie.

Here are details from The Post and Courier (emphasis added):

A state grand jury declined to pursue charges against a former South Carolina State University student accused of murder after her baby died following a premature birth, ending a legal saga that drew attention from national anti-abortion groups.

Amari Marsh was a 22-year-old college student in February 2023 when she travelled to an Orangeburg-area hospital after experiencing pain in her abdomen connected to her pregnancy. She left the emergency room and suffered a miscarriage the following morning while on the toilet.

According to police, the fetus — then gestating for several months — was still exhibiting signs of life when recovered by Orangeburg EMS but died shortly after.

This means she did not suffer a miscarriage if the baby was showing signs of life.

CNN also reports (emphasis added):

According to the sheriff’s department report, hospital staffers told Marsh that she was pregnant and that a fetal heartbeat could be detected. Freaked out and confused, she chose to leave the hospital a second time, she said, and her pain had subsided.

In the middle of the night, she said, the pain started again. She woke up, she recalled, feeling an intense urge to use the bathroom. “And when I did, the child came,” she said. “I screamed because I was scared, because I didn’t know what was going on.”

Her boyfriend at the time called 911. The emergency dispatcher “kept telling me to take the baby out” of the toilet, she recalled. “I couldn’t because I couldn’t even keep myself together.”

In other words, the infant was born prematurely in a toilet and died from complications of the birth and being left in the toilet following that birth.

Marsh did reach out to a local Planned Parenthood about Plan-C, an abortion medication. But it was unclear if she ever took or even received the medication.

The CNN article notes this interesting fact, too (emphasis added):

When Marsh lost her pregnancy on March 1, 2023, women in South Carolina could still obtain an abortion until 20 weeks beyond fertilization, or the gestational age of 22 weeks.

Later that spring, South Carolina’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a ban that prohibits providers from performing abortions after fetal cardiac activity can be detected, with some exceptions made for cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is in jeopardy. That law does not allow criminal penalties for women who seek or obtain abortions.

Let's recap here:

Marsh suffered a premature birth at a time when South Carolina law allowed abortions up to 22 weeks (into the third trimester and past the point of viability). The abortion law past after Marsh lost her daughter did not allow criminal penalties for women who obtain abortions. Marsh admits to giving birth at home and in the toilet to a baby girl who was alive when first responders arrived.

The prosecutor in the case also said this was never about abortion, but the fact Marsh did not render aid to her unborn child.

I have every sympathy for Marsh. She was in a scary situation with an unplanned pregnancy.

However, the fact remains: Marsh was not investigated because of South Carolina abortion laws. The post and the headline are lies. Blatant lies.

Lies that are meant to push the abortion agenda and scare women. Something that seems to be working, at least with younger women.

But one could logically make the argument that if abortion laws were as dangerous and onerous towards women as the Left claims, they'd be able to find one woman -- any woman -- who was actually, directly impacted by those abortion laws.

They can't.

Instead, we get lies. 

Much like Jussie Smollett made up his hate crime (in the notorious MAGA country that is Chicago) to 'prove' America is still racist, the Left has to make up lies about abortion laws to 'prove' they harm women.

Lies about women like Amber Nicole Thurman, who was a victim of a chemical abortion that the Left wants to make allowable everywhere under federal law.

What Kamala and the Left won't codify in any abortion legislation are requirements for competent care from abortion providers, because such standards would exclude a lot of abortion providers. If Thurman was cared for by a competent doctor while she underwent her chemical abortion, she might have lived. She wasn't and she didn't.

And rather than push to protect women, the Left continues to scare them -- putting women who are actually suffering pregnancy complications at risk, telling them they'll be arrested for seeking care for a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. 

It's not unreasonable to believe the Left wants a woman to actually be harmed as a result of their lies. Imagine the political ammo such a death would give them. They wasted no time capitalizing on Marsh and Thurman.

Anti-abortion laws do not harm women; the Left wouldn't have to spread misinformation about them if they were.
