Abortion activists are stirring up unfounded fears once again that women will be criminally investigated for miscarriages if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade .
Newsweek promoted their false claims this week as the high court prepares to hear a major abortion case out of Mississippi.
The truth is that pro-life advocates and the laws that they fight for do not and never have punished women, including laws that protected unborn babies’ right to life in the decades before Roe v. Wade . But abortion activists view the issue as a matter of control, believing erroneously that pro-life advocates’ goal is to control women’s bodies, not protect unborn babies’ lives.
To make their case, pro-abortion groups pointed to the recent manslaughter conviction of an Oklahoma woman who admitted to taking illegal drugs while pregnant with her unborn child. Her unborn baby died, and a medical examiner found illegal drugs in the baby’s body that likely caused or contributed to the baby’s death.
According to Newsweek, Brittney Poolaw’s jail sentence “prompted an outcry, but experts warn that her case offers a preview of a draconian future where such prosecutions could become all too common” if the Supreme Court overturns Roe .
Lynn Paltrow, the founder and executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women, admitted that cases like Poolaw’s are rare, but she argued that more could happen if Roe goes.
Overturning Roe would be “a giant green light for prosecutors who are intent on finding ways to police and penalize the people who get pregnant,” Paltrow told Newsweek.

However, the historical evidence that Paltrow herself shared contradicts her predictions. She told Newsweek, “There were arrests before Roe , not that many, but there absolutely were some.”The rare cases that Paltrow cited were not about “penalizing” women just because they were pregnant or because their unborn babies died of natural causes in miscarriages. Those cases involved strong evidence of unborn babies being killed on purpose or as a result of reckless disregard and extreme negligence.Claims about women being prosecuted in […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
