Likely in response to the Democrats’ blatantly false fear mongering that women’s control over their own sexuality is somehow in jeopardy, especially under a Trump presidency, a new social media trend has hit the internet. Women are publicly, yet somewhat indirectly, promoting methods to cause a miscarriage.
This trend exists in spite of the fact that abortions are more available than ever in America, delivered right to a woman’s front door, in fact, through virtual back-alley pill suppliers.
One TikTok account shows a reel with the caption, “Remember ladies 1000mg of vitamin c every 2-4 hours for 4-7 days is not safe while your [sic] pregnant!!!”
Another reel states, “Avoid the supplement black cohosh at all cost.”
These, of course, are all supplements and herbs that can allegedly cause miscarriages, and young women, likely with no medical training whatsoever, are now suggesting them for DIY abortions.
DIY, at-home abortions are a far-cry from what the abortion lobby has been hammering into Americans’ heads for decades, which is the absolute need for abortions to take place in medical clinics, preferably with federal and state funding.
In fact, when Roe was making its way through the courts in the 1970s, the abortion lobby did all it could to convince Americans that women were dying in huge numbers from illegal, at-home abortions – this is why the procedure had to be legalized, they argued, and only done in clinics.
The icon of a hanger still finds its way to many pro-abortion signs and logos, along with the phrase “We will never go back.” Referring, of course, to this supposed time when thousands of women were dying.
Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a dedicated abortion rights activist who later became a pro-life Christian, was especially involved in creating this new narrative, knowingly inflating the numbers of women dying from illegal abortions to ensure Roe went their way.
In his book, Aborting America, Nathanson reveals just how much the abortion lobby lied to Americans and those nine Supreme Court justices:
“How many deaths were we talking about when abortion was illegal? In NARAL (National Association for Repeal of Abortion Laws) we generally emphasized the drama of the individual case, not the mass statistics, but when we spoke of the latter it was always 5,000 to 10,000 a year. I confess that I knew the figures were totally false. But in the ‘morality’ of our revolution, it was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics?”
This was the crux of the entire abortion movement, and it’s the same argument the abortion lobby trotted out for more than fifty years to protect abortion – until recently, of course. Leading up to the fall of Roe, the abortion industry suddenly switched gears, now pushing for at-home abortions, which the abortion lobby insists is completely safe.
Abortion can now be “self-care” and “self-managed” with a growing number of websites from virtual abortion pill providers affirming the so-called ease and safety of at-home abortions – and making a killing off of it.
“The abortion cartel doesn’t know how to tell the truth,” says Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “Abortion pills by mail are a lucrative business for these virtual pill peddlers. No rent, no overhead, and no need to follow-up with the women they might maim or kill with these deadly abortion pills. Suddenly, at-home abortion is safe, empowering, and never allowed to be questioned – even when women like Candi Miller die from it.”
This forced and false blasé approach by the abortion lobby is spilling over into a younger generation, so much so that TikTok influencers are encouraging women to use almost witch-doctor-type remedies to “casually” force miscarriages. Not only are these DIY abortions incredibly dangerous, it reflects an almost unimaginable hardness of heart.
Statistically, a million women each year will lose a child through miscarriage in the United States. Many of those women experience deep sorrow, grieving the child they lost right as their own hopes and dreams of being a mother were taking flight. It’s a kind of grief no woman would likely wish on another woman. Perhaps the “rebels” in these TikTok reels should get off of social media and spend some genuine time listening to a broken mother who has experienced a miscarriage.
The irony is astounding when you consider the constant demands abortion radicals make for affirmation and compassion. Yet this trend makes these women seem emotionally blind, if not completely heartless.
