My mother taught me that when you say something you know is untrue, you’re lying.

In the wake of Brett Kavanuagh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court, pro-abortion activists and politicians are doubling down on their radical support for abortion on demand until the moment of birth.
They’re in the minority. Most Americans support compassionate protections for unborn children and their mothers – especially a limit on abortion after five months, more than halfway through pregnancy. Pro-abortion activists respond to this with their tired, old militant lie: The only way to keep abortion safe is to keep abortion legal throughout pregnancy.

Abortion advocates – both before and after its legalization – have claimed the annual death toll of women who had illegal back-alley abortions before Roe v. Wade was between 5,000 and 10,000.
This is simply a lie. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Vital Statistics and Centers for Disease Control found that 39 women died from illegal abortions in 1972, the year before Roe. Every death was a tragic loss, but that number is far from the wild claims of extreme abortion advocates.
Bernard Nathanson, the former abortionist who ran the largest abortion center in the Western Hemisphere and co-founded NARAL, later came clean in his book, Aborting America.
He “knew the figures were totally false” and said that many leading pro-abortion activists were well aware of the untruth of those numbers. “But in the ‘morality’ of our revolution,” he wrote, “it was a useful figure, widely accepted so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics?”The claim that legal abortion is safe for women is also lie. The truth is that women were far safer prior to legal abortion, which has been a death sentence not only for babies but for some of their mothers too. Hundreds of women who died from complications due to legal abortion and thousands more who have been maimed and suffered serious internal injuries from botched abortions have been documented.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg.
Operation Rescue, a pro-life organization headquartered in Kansas, reports on the devastation caused by legal abortion and specializes in uncovering numerous unreported medical emergencies at abortion facilities nationwide.
Just last week, they discovered that an ambulance transported a woman to a local hospital who was experiencing hemorrhaging due to a botched abortion from a West Palm Beach mill. This same facility was referred to the U.S. House Select Panel on Infant Lives two years ago for illegally selling aborted baby body parts for monetary gain.
Operation Rescue also recently received incident reports on an abortion facility in Charlotte, North Carolina showing that ambulances were called 15 separate times due to onsite medical emergencies. Even worse, in 2016, Diamond Williams lost her life due to a botched abortion at the same facility.
