In a disturbing trend, media outlets are increasingly equating miscarriage and pregnancy complications with elective abortion.<\/p>\n

A recent article<\/a> in InStyle titled, \u201cNo Matter How You Feel About Abortion, You Need to Better Understand D&C,\u201d claims that there is no difference<\/em> between receiving surgical treatment after a miscarriage and electing to end the life of a preborn child<\/a>. The central argument of the article seems to be that opposition to killing preborn babies has led to a lack of information about the dilation and curettage procedure (D&C). A D&C is sometimes necessary following the unintentional demise of a preborn baby through miscarriage when the miscarriage is not completed (the baby’s remains are still in the uterus). In the D&C, a woman\u2019s cervix is dilated, and a doctor uses surgical instruments to remove whatever remains in the uterus.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Diane Horvath (a.k.a. Diane Horvath-Cosper), a practicing ob-gyn and abortionist<\/a> interviewed by InStyle<\/a>, whether a D&C is performed after a miscarriage or as part of an elective abortion \u201cit is exactly the same.\u201d While the rudimentary surgical procedure may bear resemblance, the idea that they are \u201cexactly the same\u201d is absurd. In one, a child who has passed away through no one\u2019s fault or intention is removed from his or her mother. In another, a child with a beating heart is suctioned apart or\u00a0dismembered<\/a>\u00a0until she bleeds out and her skull containing a brain with recently active brainwaves is crushed.<\/p>\n

The doctors who chatted with InStyle blithely suggest that there is no difference between experiencing a miscarriage and undergoing an elective abortion. Horvath claims, \u201cThere\u2019s no shame in pregnancy loss, just like there\u2019s no shame in getting an abortion.\u201d Horvath tries to suggest that politics has created an \u201cartificial division\u201d between mothers whose pregnancies end in miscarriage and mothers who elect or are coerced into ending their child\u2019s life in abortion. Likewise, Dr. Alexandra Sacks<\/a>, a reproductive psychiatrist, says, \u201cThere are all sorts of reasons why a pregnancy would end,\u201d adding, \u201cthe same thing needs to happen: You need to clean and clear the uterus so you can get back to your healthy baseline, without discomfort or pain or infection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Distinguishing miscarriage and elective abortion is not a political fabrication; these are, in fact, fundamentally different acts. Mothers in all circumstances deserve compassion and resources. They also deserve to know the truth. The truth is that elective abortion is never medically necessary<\/a>, and it violently destroys a living human being<\/a>.<\/p>\n
