A young woman named Ashley has taken to Facebook with a now-viral set of videos to describe a painful and frightening situation. She says she is pregnant, but that her baby has died. She says she has had multiple scans. She says the baby has measured around five weeks and six days, with little or no change, while she is nearly eight weeks along. She also says she has suffered several miscarriages already.
Her story deserves compassion. A woman who has lost a baby, especially after repeated losses, needs care, clarity, and mercy. She does not need fear. She does not need confusion. She does not need the abortion industrial complex turning her pain into propaganda.
Ashley appears scared of infection and sepsis. She says she wants the baby "removed today" so she can "move on." She says she is in Orlando, at Disney World, waiting for an Uber to take her to Planned Parenthood. That detail should not make us dismiss her pain. People in crisis still go through the motions. They can be on vacation and still be grieving. They can be frightened and still appear functional.
But her words also reveal how deeply abortion language has distorted this situation.
Ashley repeatedly refers to her baby as "the pregnancy." She says, "The pregnancy has been dead for over two weeks." She says it is not viable. She says she may have to have an "elective" abortion because she does not want to wait any longer.
That is where the lie takes hold. If the baby has died, this is miscarriage care. It is not abortion.
