The main lie, pushed by Vice President Kamala Harris and top Democrats, is that if a pregnant woman is miscarrying her baby, abortion laws \u201ctie doctors\u2019 hands from acting to save her life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Harris repeated this lie throughout the last election cycle, as did proponents of pro-abortion ballot amendments like Florida\u2019s Amendment 4. Major media outlets like ProPublica published \u201ctragic stories of deaths from abortion drugs and medical malpractice in an attempt to blame the loss of lives on pro-life laws in Georgia and Texas,\u201d the memo stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cPro-abortion groups have dishonestly publicized that pro-life laws protecting unborn children prevent pregnant women from receiving care in an emergency,\u201d wrote Sue Liebel, state affairs director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a ballot measure fight, candidate race or legislative battle, this has been the abortion industry\u2019s number one talking point which many in the Democratic Party have adopted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">SBA Pro-Life America\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/pro-life-laws-protect-mom-and-baby-pregnant-womens-lives-are-protected-in-all-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research has found<\/a>&nbsp;that every state abortion law allows for women to receive emergency care and for doctors to \u201ccontinue to rely on their reasonable medical judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And the organization is calling for state lawmakers to follow the example of several pro-life states: South Dakota recently adopted a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doh.sd.gov\/healthcare-professionals\/medical-education-guidance\/#:~:text=House%20Bill%201224,or%20health%2Dthreatening%20medical%20conditions.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Med Ed law that directly educates<\/a>&nbsp;medical professionals through training materials from the state\u2019s Department of Health, with input from the state\u2019s attorney general, medical professionals, and legal experts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"486\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cincinnatirighttolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32930\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.84375;object-fit:cover;width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cincinnatirighttolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-3.png 486w, https:\/\/cincinnatirighttolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-3-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"451\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cincinnatirighttolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32931\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7829861111111112;object-fit:cover;width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cincinnatirighttolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4.png 451w, https:\/\/cincinnatirighttolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-235x300.png 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In Florida, the Agency for Health Care Administration released guidance after the state\u2019s heartbeat law went into effect,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ahca.myflorida.com\/content\/download\/25110\/file\/9-19-24-Notice-to-Providers.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emphasizing that doctors still had the ability to treat pregnant women<\/a>&nbsp;facing medical emergencies. The agency also sent letters to every doctor in the state, launched a website, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In Nebraska, the memo emphasized, the state health department&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dhhs.ne.gov\/han%20Documents\/ADVISORY10282024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issued a health alert to clarify it\u2019s 12 week protections for the unborn<\/a>&nbsp;when pro-abortion groups ran ads confusing the public about when pregnant women could receive care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And in Texas, the state medical board&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kxan.com\/news\/texas\/texas-medical-board-to-discuss-exceptions-to-states-abortion-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adopted rules to protect women<\/a>&nbsp;under the state\u2019s life at conception law, SBA Pro-Life America emphasized, noting that Texas\u2019s new rule highlighted the importance of doctors relying on their reasonable medical judgment and noting that the law \u201callows for intervention when a serious situation is foreseeable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWe urge state leaders to act in 2025 to initiate Med Ed solutions to protect the pregnant women of their state,\u201d the memo stated. \u201cWe hope these efforts will gain bipartisan support as they did in South Dakota and in Arizona, where a Democrat attorney general made clear that women can continue to receive care under their 15-week law. Protecting pregnant women should not be a contentious issue. Republican or Democrat, pro-life or pro-choice \u2013 we should all agree that putting women in danger for political purposes is wrong and should be put to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong><em>Mary Margaret Olohan is a senior reporter for The Daily Wire, and the author of&nbsp;Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;We should all agree that putting women in danger for political purposes is wrong and should be put to an end&#8217; By: Mary Margaret Olohan, originally published November 25, 2024, DailyWire State lawmakers, governors offices, and health departments must urgently address abortion misinformation, a leading pro-life group said in a memo to state officials first&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32932,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
