THREAD: Rollingstone published this piece on ORR and abortion. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
2/ Piece was meant to expose a "Christian Crusade" in ORR under Trump. First, I'd like to remind people that under Obama, ORR's view on abortion was as extreme as it could get: transporting or transferring girls to different states to get late-term abortions w/o telling parents
3/ I wrote two pieces on it. It also appears the ORR tried to squeeze consensual sex into the rape exception to get federal money to pay for the abortions. Here's first piece. thefederalist.com/2018/10/18/cou…
4/ The second piece shows the emails back and forth as the Obama folks tried to ship girls out of state for late-term abortions. thefederalist.com/2018/10/23/ema…
5/ Of course Rollingstone is going to portray Trump's ORR (which sees its job as carrying for the minors and the human beings in utero) as offensive. BUT what SHOCKED me is that in article, the abortion clinic admitted lying about the abortion pill. Here are relevant excerpts.
6/ I've written extensively on abortion pill reversal so know how the abortion pill works. It is really 2 pills. The first basically cuts off progesterone without which human being in utero dies (~80% of time). Second pill causes uterus to contract. First pill alone
7/ causes abortions in most cases. NO evidence that it causes birth defects if second pill isn't taken. Yes, heavy bleeding results from chemical abortion--with or without second pill. Never seen any higher risk if second pill skipped. And never seen deadly infections
8/ if second pill skipped. In fact, abortion activists criticizing abortion pill reversal claim the appropriate protocol for someone who changes mind after taking first pill is to not take second and wait. So question is: Is Rollingstone making this up to make it sound like
9/9 Trump's ORR was risking this girl's life? OR is an abortion clinic in Texas actually telling girls who change their mind about an abortion after taking the first pill if they don't take the second pill, they risk birth defects and deadly infections???
