The Left's Lies About Abortion Continue To Harm Women

Posted • April 6, 2025: It's amazing how quickly the Left's post-Dobbs abortion narrative faded from major public discourse. The Left (and several people on the Right) insisted the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and make abortion a state's rights issue would spell electoral catastrophe for Republicans. That prediction has not come true. Yet the Left persists in that narrative. Kamala Harris made it a major plank in her truncated campaign platform, including her persistent lies about Amber Thurman's death being caused by Georgia's anti-abortion laws (even after Thurman's family asked her to stop). Jessica Valenti, whose X biot admits she 'writes about abortion every day' (she must be a blast at parties), continues Kamala's work about lying about anti-abortion laws. We'll start with her claim about a South Carolina woman being forced to 'carry her dead fetus' pending a fourth ultrasound:

Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti: “I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.” —— You'll be (not) shocked to learn this is a lie. There is nothing in South Carolina's abortion law mandating multiple ultrasounds before treating a miscarriage. Here's what Grok had to say on the issue: “South Carolina’s abortion laws, as they stand in April 2025, do not explicitly require four ultrasounds in any scenario, including miscarriage management. The Fetal Heartbeat Act mandates one ultrasound to check for a heartbeat before an abortion, and there’s no legal requirement for additional ultrasounds in cases of miscarriage.”

“However, the practical reality of navigating these laws—combined with medical caution and potential scheduling issues—can lead to situations where doctors or hospitals require multiple ultrasounds to confirm a miscarriage before proceeding with treatment. The “fourth ultrasound” mentioned in the post is likely a result of these broader systemic issues rather than a direct legal mandate.” —— Valenti doesn't name the woman. I don't doubt she'd argue for 'privacy' reasons, but I cannot rule out the fact that keeping this woman anonymous also makes it much harder to verify or debunk the claims. Which is the purpose of it. But Valenti wasn't done there. She returns to Georgia, claiming a woman was arrested for a miscarriage: Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti: “It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story.”

Perhaps the reason no major outlet has covered the story is because, unlike Valenti, they know the story is a lie. Having a miscarriage in Georgia is not a crime. Dumping the baby's body in a trash bin, however, is. “A witness told police that the woman had placed a fetus in a bag and placed the bag in a dumpster outside. Tifton Police responded to the scene and recovered a deceased fetus. The remains were sent for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. The woman is facing one count of concealing the death of another person and one count of throwing away or abandoning a dead body, which is prohibited. Her charges are sparking national attention and a debate following the life after the Dobbs decision overturning Roe. v. Wade. According to WALB, the NBC affiliate in Albany, Tifton Deputy Coroner Blair Veazy stated the woman was 19 weeks into her pregnancy when she miscarried. WALB spoke with District Attorney Patrick Warren, who says that miscarriages are generally deemed a medical condition and that prosecution is not warranted.”

Valenti gives the game away by responding to someone who called out her blatant lie: 𝚌𝚕𝚞𝚖𝚙 𝚘𝚏 𝚌𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚜 @ZELLKLUMPEN: “Narrator: She wasn't arrested for her miscarriage.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GnoE5MjXUAAc1LK?format=jpg&name=900x900 —— Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti: “This kind of disinformation is the very predictable result of fetal personhood laws and rhetoric. When a fetus or embryo is a 'person', a woman flushing or disposing of her miscarriage becomes "she threw her dead baby in a dumpster."” —— A fetus is a person. As is an embryo. The stage of development is irrelevant to the fact the unborn child is a human being. Valenti -- and her cadre of radical pro-aborts -- hate the fact we acknowledge science and the personhood of the unborn child. But if Valenti wants to stop stories like the ones she claims happened in South Carolina and Georgia from happening, she must stop lying about those states' anti-abortion laws. Why? This behavior is a direct result of fear-mongering by women like Valenti and Kamala.

In their blind, rabid support of unfettered abortion, they have to scare women and medical providers about what anti-abortion laws say and the practical application of those laws. They are the ones telling women they'll be denied medical care for miscarriages and face prosecution if they miscarry. They are the ones telling medical professionals they'll be prosecuted for treating a miscarriage. They are the ones undermining their arguments. If anti-abortion laws were so bad and harmful to women, people like Valenti wouldn't have to lie about them. Yet, every single story they come up with as 'proof' of the 'harm' of anti-abortion laws is either a half-truth or an outright lie. Every. Single. Time.
