I spent way too long Friday arguing with pro-abortion activists on Twitter/X who responded angrily when I pointed out that miscarriage is not abortion.
Miscarriage: A baby dies before birth and the parents who wanted it grieve the loss.

Abortion: A baby is killed before birth because the parents didn't want it.
They are not the same. Stop lying.
The topic was broached recently when Democrats and the Biden administration made it clear they intend to make abortion a centerpiece of their 2024 campaign.
They've been conflating elective abortion with miscarriage on purpose to create confusion, scare women, and garner the sympathy people feel for those who have experienced miscarriage.
It's ghoulish.
1. This woman had a miscarriage and sought treatment for it. A miscarriage is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT than an elective abortion to end a life. The Biden campaign won’t tell you that.

2. There should be absolutely no difficulty in obtaining treatment (D+C) for a miscarriage. https://t.co/UVytzGE6HI
It's been seventeen years. My wife and I only experienced a few weeks of normal pregnancy.

It was our first. It was exciting. We told our family. We started planning.
Then it happened.
'I think something’s wrong', she told me. 'We need to go to the hospital.'
It was awful and confusing and happening too fast.
The ER nurse involuntarily broke character for just a second when she walked into the examination room. Her eyes signaled alarm, and then she gathered herself. My wife was standing on the cold tile in a pool of blood.
I was scared.
A young doctor examined my wife, disappeared from the room momentarily, and then reemerged.
His sympathetic voice addressed my wife directly. 'I’m afraid it’s the worst.'
I didn’t understand. The worst? What was going to happen to her?
Unlike me, the young doctor was seeing clearly. He knew.
I saw my wife. He saw the person I would see for the first time moments later – a mother who had just lost her child.
She cried in a way I never heard in the fifteen years I had known her. I held her hand and stroked her hair. I was useless. There was nothing I could fix, no problem I could solve.
We don’t plan miscarriage.
Miscarriage Is NOT Abortion.
