Falsehoods pro-choice people repeat to me regularly: a thread.
Zygotes and embryos aren't alive.
Embryos don't have hearts or heartbeats.
Ultrasounds aren't detecting heartbeats, just electrical activity.
Embryos and fetuses are parasites.
A 9 week embryo isn't visible to the naked eye.
Later abortions are always or almost always for medical emergencies.
There's no such thing as abortion after viability; it's just induction of live birth.
Abortion restrictions don't decrease abortion rates.
Abortion restrictions actually increase abortion rates.

Attending a (packed) panel discussion with former abortion workers Alicia Davis, Mayra Rodriguez, and Sarah Eubanks.
Sarah tears up talking about how she would reassure and talk hesitant women into going through with their abortions.
Mayra said it was easy to work for a Planned Parenthood for years on the birth control side, but once she started working as director of the abortion part of the business, it was the worst 10 months of her life.

When we talk about the women who emotionally or psychologically struggle with their abortions, the point is not that their struggles are reasons to ban abortion. 1/
We don't think abortion should be outlawed because some people regret abortion. There are plenty of decisions people regret that should still be legal. We think abortion should be outlawed because it kills valuable human beings. 2/
We talk about adverse emotional and psychological struggles for other reasons. First, the women who go through them are silenced, ignored, gaslit or vilified. They struggle to get support. They suffer. That's a problem in itself. 3/

Well we agree there are a lot of utter falsities going on. 🧵
"The first lie is that abortion bans prevent abortion. They do not." Oof. Really bad start. Here's a thread of citations saying otherwise:
"In fact, [criminalizing abortion] actually has the opposite policy effect...it can increase abortion rates" No surprise there's no citation here. What would even be the mechanism for criminalizing X action ---> increased instances of X action?

Keisha Atkins wrongful death lawsuit resulted in a $1.26M settlement with University of New Mexico and Curtis Boyd's Southwestern Women's Options abortion clinic. abqjournal.com/2497307/unm-cl…
The lawsuit alleged Southwestern Women's Options was negligent and fell below standards of care when treating Aktins, and that University of New Mexico was negligent in referring Atkins to the clinic in the first place. Clinic paid $900k, UNM paid $365k.
Remember this when people claim post-viability abortions of healthy fetuses don't exist because they are "just birth." Image

Even in the third trimester, they will abort healthy babies carried by healthy mothers. And then they'll falsify health justifications in the paperwork.

In this case, it only came to light because the mom died in a botched abortion. secularprolife.org/2022/11/aborti…
Carr signed papers claiming Atkins needed a 6 month abortion to avoid "substantial & irreversible harm" to her physical health. Carr meant only that pregnancy takes physical tolls & "changes your path in life." Image
When pressed, Carr agreed that her claiming Atkins would have suffered irreversible physical harm was inaccurate. Image
