Pro-life doctors are emphasizing the difference between abortion and miscarriage after some media commentators and outlets claimed that a former reality TV star, Jessa (Duggar) Seewald, had an abortion.

“In a move meant to manipulate the public, abortion proponents have attempted to equivocate miscarriage and abortion,” Dr. Christina Francis, board member and CEO-elect of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), told Our Sunday Visitor. “This is not only false but it also exploits the heartache that so many women and families have experienced through the loss of a child.”


Jessa, best known for being a part of the Duggar family and starring in the TLC series “19 Kids and Counting,” recently shared that she suffered from a missed miscarriage over the holidays. In an 18-minute YouTube video published Feb. 24, the 30-year-old revealed that she underwent a D&C (dilation and curettage) — a procedure used both in abortion and after miscarriages.

In response, some media outlets accused Jessa, who is pro-life, of having an abortion.

“While the surgical procedures used to treat miscarriage are also used to perform an induced abortion, there is a major difference. In miscarriage management, the procedures empty the uterus when the fetus or embryo has already passed away of natural causes, while in an induced abortion, the procedure is used to deliberately end the life of a living human being in the womb,” Francis said. “Conflating the two is like saying that cremating a dead body is the same as burning someone alive.

Good grief. This is way beyond disingenuity or gaslighting.

Inanities such as this flat-out denial of reality truly support the notion that liberalism is a mental disorder.
Really bizarre way of thinking imo. But the lines of reality and fantasy are becoming increasingly blurred.

Pro-abortionists loudly push the scenario where the mother’s health or life would require termination.

This case makes their protestations seem false, as I’m fairly certain allowing a fetal corpse to remain in a woman’s body would very negatively impact her health.

Just making the hard loss worse by implicating guilt.

These people know no bounds of decency.
