Democrat Activists Exploit Tragic Miscarriages Like Mine To Sell Abortions

Unlike miscarriage, abortion directly and intentionally kills an innocent child who is living, growing, and developing.

This past summer, I walked through one of the most difficult tragedies in my life: miscarrying my precious fourth child. When I started experiencing symptoms, I immediately got in touch with my doctor, and she confirmed my worst fear through an ultrasound and blood test: I lost my baby, which happened to be the same day as my father-in-law’s funeral.

Many women share the overwhelming and devastating experience of miscarrying; about 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in the miscarriage of the child. Healing isn’t quick or easy, emotionally or physically. It can take days, sometimes even weeks, of physical pain, bleeding, and eventually miscarrying. After that, more tears, numbness, hormonal changes, sleepless nights, and bodily aches fill the months ahead, all a constant reminder that you lost the child you wanted and loved so much. Having to carry on with life and tell people you’re no longer pregnant, especially your children, is the cherry on top of a crappy cake. 

But now the abortion industry has decided to add yet another layer of grief for women: using personal miscarriage tragedies, like mine, to fearmonger and deceive women into supporting pro-abortion laws, lest they die in the streets from not receiving miscarriage treatment. My blood boils listening to the abortion pundits’ malicious and blatant deception.  

While abortion is also a tragedy, it differs from miscarriage in one key area: intention.  

Abortion directly and intentionally kills an innocent child who is living, growing, and developing. It grotesquely starves, suctions, dismembers, or poisons that precious life. Sometimes, women receive miscarriage treatment to prevent them from suffering any further complications, such as infection, after their children have already passed. Unfortunately, women don’t always miscarry naturally and may require medical intervention, whether through a drug called misoprostol or a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure.

This isn’t a difficult concept to understand with a proper explanation of the procedures. But, like always, the abortion industry preys on women’s ignorance and plays on their emotions and grief. And for what? To justify killing babies up until birth and sometimes even after.  

With ignorance comes confusion, and the abortion industry thrives on it, convincing the uneducated public that misoprostol automatically means abortion. However, misoprostol is used for both miscarriages and abortion. Mifepristone, the first pill in the chemical abortion cocktail, is the drug that stops a woman’s body from producing progesterone, the hormone necessary to keep her baby alive. Misoprostol is the drug that stimulates her uterus to expel her baby, which explains why medical professionals use it in miscarriage treatment. D&Cs are also part of abortions and are performed to clean out a woman’s uterus.

Keep in mind the intent in both scenarios. In a miscarriage, the baby has passed, confirmed through ultrasound or blood work. No doctor blindly confirms when a woman is no longer pregnant. Doctors usually wait for a woman to miscarry naturally unless her symptoms signal the need for intervention. In a chemical abortion, however, mifepristone and misoprostol together are utilized to end the child’s life and expel his or her body. 

I live in Missouri, where abortion is currently illegal but will soon be available until birth, thanks to the recently passed Amendment 3. Missouri became the first state after the Dobbs decision to make abortion illegal, but sadly many Missouri citizens fell for the “we need abortion to legalize miscarriage care” propaganda. With millions of dollars and the miscarriage lie in hand, Amendment 3 passed with nearly 52 percent of the vote on Election Day and will go into effect on Dec. 5. Now one of the strongest pro-life states will become one of the most radical and extreme abortion states in the country.  

Abortion pundits lied, and now thousands of children will die at higher rates in states like Missouri, Arizona, and Nevada. Students for Life of America (SFLA) will continue to educate people on miscarriage care and the horrors of abortion, but the pro-abortion corporate media must take accountability for their actions. Enough is enough.  

The abortion industry gets a slap on the wrist for its constant deception, but it messed with the wrong people: mothers. We won’t let it get away with using our stories as a strategy to sell more abortions.
