Any family that has ever endured a miscarriage knows just how brutal, traumatizing and heartbreaking the awful experience can be.
It is so important and commendable, then, when mothers share their experiences losing their precious babies, as Jessa Duggar Seewald did this month:
Jessa Duggar Seewald revealed that she had a miscarriage while pregnant with her fifth child. ...
As Jessa Seewald explained in the video, toward the end of her first trimester in December 2022, she was feeling nausea, fatigue and food aversions, along with "the tiniest amount" of vaginal bleeding. A small amount of bleeding during pregnancy is often perfectly normal, but sometimes it can signal a miscarriage, according to the Mayo Clinic, which defines a miscarriage as a "spontaneous" loss before the 20th week of pregnancy.
She then had an ultrasound.
"As soon as she started taking a look at the baby, I could tell there was some concern in her voice," she explained. "She said, 'Well, the sac looks good; the baby does not."
Awful stuff. As Seewald notes, she "just immediately started crying" upon learning the news that her baby had died. But, as is often the awful reality of abortion, the difficult process wasn't over yet:
Seewald continued, "I ended up having to go see my doctor because (of) my history of hemorrhaging and all of that, there was concern that if I tried to just take something or pass the baby at home that, that I might have trouble and have to be transported and all that. It just wasn't something that seemed like a very good option. And so we decided to go to the hospital, get checked in there and go through the process of a D&C."
A "dilation and curettage," as the Mayo Clinic puts it, is used in part to "clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion."
It is obvious that Seewald used the procedure here as a medical treatment after a miscarriage, not as a component of abortion. Anyone can readily see that. Seewald did not kill her baby; her baby died, and the D&C was necessary to remove it from her body to ensure she did not have further medical complications.
And yet a large number of people — who appear to be pure, undiluted psychopaths — looked at Seewald's heartbreaking announcement and decided, against all evidence and reason, that rather than experience a miscarriage, she had actually obtained an abortion.
Numerous high-profile Twitter users spread this deranged, sick conspiracy theory online:
It wasn't just on social media — multiple news outlets spread the lie as well:
In one sense this is unsurprising. We have known for years that the abortion lobby is relentless, single-minded and uncompromising in its abortion beliefs.
Yet this feels different. How fanatically, rabidly pro-abortion do you have to be to take a woman's heartbreaking loss of her child and spin it into disgusting pro-abortion propaganda?
That takes a special level of depravity and cowardice.
