One of the main issues in the Democrat party campaign for the presidency is abortion. Unfortunately, they have decided that rather than fight their fight on the merits, they are simply going to lie about the issue. First of all, Roe v. Wade was overturned because it violated the 10th Amendment. A federal ban on abortion would also violate the 10th Amendment and would also be overturned by the courts. President Trump has already said he would oppose a federal ban on abortion, but that is not what the Kamala Harris campaign is reporting. The campaign is also lying about what constitutes an abortion and what medical care should be available to women who miscarry.<\/p>\n
On Friday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article explaining how a recent claim by the Harris campaign is a lie.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n Democrats and their corporate media allies are so desperate to get rid of pro-life laws that they\u2019ll fabricate stories to wrongly smear them as not only bad for women but deadly.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest is ProPublica\u2019s story of a Georgia woman who died after a North Carolina abortionist gave her chemical abortion pills \u2014 which, contrary to Democrat narratives<\/a>, are unsafe. The article, however, pretends the death was caused by Georgia\u2019s pro-life laws. The author of the story repeatedly attempts to conflate a procedure used to treat miscarriages, dilation and curettage (D&C), with elective abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n In ProPublica\u2019s telling, 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman had ingested the chemical abortion pill regimen, which consists of the drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone ends the life of the developing human being; misoprostol helps achieve complete expulsion of the embryo.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that the FDA\u2019s 2000 approval<\/a> of mifepristone acknowledged its risks and enacted safety requirements, including a seven-week gestational limit, requiring women to see a physician in person, and a mandatory one-time post-abortion appointment to confirm that the uterus was empty and that bleeding had subsided. The FDA also required<\/a> manufacturers of the abortion pill to report all adverse health events that were reported to them, such as infection or excessive bleeding \u2014 not just patient deaths.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n But thanks to Democrat efforts to relax safety requirements for abortion pills, important safeguards no longer apply. When Thurman experienced \u201ccomplications\u201d from the abortion, which ProPublica wrongly asserts are \u201crare,\u201d she went to the hospital for a D&C.<\/strong><\/p>\n While ProPublica claims, \u201cThurman had told doctors her miscarriage <\/em>was not spontaneous \u2014 it was the result of taking pills to terminate her pregnancy,\u201d Thurman was not experiencing a miscarriage. She had undergone an abortion. Her unborn twins had already died, and she had retained parts of their bodies or the placenta \u2014 a known complication of abortion pill use and one of the very reasons for the FDA\u2019s requirement for a post-abortion follow-up visit with a doctor.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Amber Thurman did not die because of Georgia\u2019s abortion law, which was enacted to protect the lives of mothers and preborn children. She died from complications of medical abortion. Perhaps, had the FDA decided not<\/a> to remove its mandatory requirement for a doctor\u2019s follow-up visit from abortion pill labeling, and had she received more appropriate care, she might have survived.<\/strong><\/p>\n ProPublica says, \u201cThurman\u2019s case marks the first time an abortion-related death, officially deemed \u2018preventable,\u2019 is coming to public light.\u201d But what about the death of Alexandra Nunez<\/a>? Or Rebecca Charland<\/a>, Tonya Reaves<\/a>, Jennifer Morbelli<\/a>, Maria Santiago<\/a>, Lakisha Wilson<\/a>, Jamie Lee Morales<\/a>, Cree Erwin Sheppard<\/a>, Keisha Atkins<\/a>, Tia Archeiva Parks<\/a>, or April Lowery <\/a>\u2014 all of whom died during or shortly after their abortions?<\/strong><\/p>\n Were their deaths preventable? Or is maternal death associated with elective abortion acceptable, even though such abortions are performed on healthy mothers with healthy babies?<\/strong><\/p>\n Abortion has risks. I have friends who as a result of legal abortions were not able to have children when they wanted to have them. There was also a study in Japan in the 1970’s linking abortion to an increased risk of breast cancer. This is not a safe procedure whether it is done with drugs or other methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the main issues in the Democrat party campaign for the presidency is abortion.
