No, Amber Thurman Was Not a Victim of the Pro-Life Movement

 

The media in partnership with the pro-abortion lobby is at it again—twisting reality to paint 28-year-old Amber Thurman

as yet another tragic victim of pro-life laws. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, Thurman chose to end the lives of her unborn twins after learning she was pregnant, seeking an abortion outside of Georgia due to the state's laws. She took abortion pills that resulted in a rare deadly infection, which caused her death.

They would have you believe that she’s a martyr in the battle for so-called “reproductive rights,” whose life was senselessly lost due to a lack of “timely access to abortion care.” But let’s peel back the layers of deceit in this narrative. Thurman wasn’t victimized by the pro-life movement or by restrictive laws. No, she victimized her own children—two defenseless babies—and in doing so, brought about her own death.

The true story, stripped of all the self-righteous pro-abortion propaganda, is chillingly simple. Amber Thurman, a mother of one, became pregnant with twins in 2022. Instead of nurturing those lives—her own flesh and blood—she chose to snuff them out.

Why?

Because she didn’t want the responsibility. Because they were inconvenient. She made her choice, not because her life was in danger, but because, as the media likes to put it, she wanted to maintain her "stability." She wanted to continue with her plans of enrolling in nursing school and living independently. But stability built on the graves of innocent children is no stability at all.

After Georgia’s heartbeat law prevented her from getting a surgical abortion past six weeks, Thurman took the deadly route of self-medicating, swallowing abortion pills to chemically end the lives of her twins.

The pills worked as expected—after all, they’re designed to kill—but they didn’t kill cleanly. An incomplete abortion meant that not all of the fetal tissue was expelled from her body. Her body, no longer the safe haven it should have been for her children, now became a battlefield of infection and decay...
