At the center of the legal <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-advocates-lie-womans-death-el-salvador\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">case<\/a> that could push El Salvador into legalizing abortion is the story of one woman who allegedly died after being denied an abortion \u2014 but this is a complete deception.<\/p>\n<p>The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has been hearing the case of <em>Beatriz v. El Salvador<\/em>, about a woman who was denied an abortion in the nation and, according to the media, &#8216;later died&#8217;. The court will rule whether or not pro-life laws violate a woman&#8217;s right to life and health based on this case, and a pro-abortion ruling could force El Salvador (and other pro-life nations) to legalize abortion.<\/p>\n<p>But there is serious manipulation behind the scenes and in the media.\u00a0Beatriz Garcia, the woman at the core of the case, did not die from a lack of access to induced abortion. In fact, she never had life-threatening pregnancy complications, doctors never advised abortion, and she died <strong><em>four years later<\/em><\/strong> in a vehicle accident.<\/p>\n<p>And the more than 50 women allegedly jailed for miscarriages and obstetric emergencies due to El Salvador&#8217;s pro-life laws, including\u00a0Alba Lorena Santos, were not actually convicted for abortion but for <em>infanticide<\/em>. Foreign Policy recently published a pro-abortion piece highlighting Santos and the death of her baby boy, exploiting her son&#8217;s murder to bolster support for legalized abortion in El Salvador and around the world.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Warning: Grapic images below<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The pro-life law &#8216;too popular&#8217; to overturn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2023\/04\/24\/abortion-bans-popular-el-salvador-latin-america\/#:~:text=The%20ban%20continues%20to%20be,be%20heading%20down%20its%20path.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foreign Policy<\/a>, El Salvador&#8217;s pro-life law may be &#8220;too popular to overturn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ban continues to be popular, particularly as anti-abortion evangelical churches with strong connections to the United States have gained influence here, and advocates in El Salvador warn the United States could be heading down its path,&#8221; said the media outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-abortion <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/el-salvador-roe-miscarriage-jail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">organizations<\/a> and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/media-lies-woman-jailed-miscarriage-el-salvador\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>\u00a0have long claimed that women in El Salvador are being imprisoned for miscarriages, stillbirths, and medical emergencies during pregnancy. When <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> was first threatened by <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization, the<\/em> case that would eventually take it down, the media began churning out stories of women in El Salvador allegedly jailed for miscarriage with the warning that the same would happen in the United States if <em>Roe<\/em> fell. This has proven to be untrue, and this is because women in El Salvador <em>are not regularly being arrested for miscarriage<\/em>, nor is this occurring in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood\u2019s director of news content, Kate Smith,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/el-salvador-roe-miscarriage-jail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Americans in 2022 that women could be jailed for miscarriages if\u00a0<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>\u00a0were to be overturned, erroneously using cases in El Salvador as examples.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jos\u00e9 Miguel Fort\u00edn-Maga\u00f1a Leiva, the former director-general of the Dr. Roberto Masferrer Institute of Forensic Medicine of El Salvador,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/251259\/medical-expert-debunks-false-claims-of-planned-parenthood-about-abortion-in-el-salvador\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deflated<\/a>\u00a0Smith\u2019s claims. He said that she \u201cis at best absolutely mistaken when she claims that in El Salvador women are imprisoned and harassed for induced abortions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut even worse, that those who have suffered a miscarriage are also prosecuted and imprisoned by an infamous law,\u201d He added.\u00a0\u201cAs former director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine and as a doctor, I can assure you that the foregoing is totally false; there\u2019s not a single case of women imprisoned for that reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pro-life organization Fundaci\u00f3n Vida SV has been documenting the cases of women allegedly jailed for miscarriage and other pregnancy-related tragedies and has shared information from the court cases as well as images of some of the children that allegedly died from natural causes. It is clear from the images and witness testimony that these children were actually killed after birth by horrific means such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/newborns-el-salvador-murdered-media-lies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strangulation and stabbing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The truth about\u00a0Alba Lorena Santos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/vidasv.org\/2019\/05\/26\/las17-alba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VDIA SV<\/a>, in December of 2009, Santos said her pregnancy was the result of <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2014\/11\/06\/the-youth-are-theirs-el-salvadors-horrifying-culture-of-gang-rape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rape<\/a>\u00a0(an ongoing crisis in the nation), and claimed she suddenly went into labor at five months and sent her daughter to the neighbors for help. She said she fainted and when she woke up the neighbor told her the baby boy had died after dropping to the ground while Santos birthed him.

They knocked on the door until Santos finally opened it. They said her legs were covered in blood and inside the home was a black bag in which the newborn baby was found with lacerations near his nose and on his neck. An autopsy found that the baby had been hit with something hard enough to cause a &#8220;severe cranioencephalic trauma, of a blunt type, plus neck compression&#8221; and that a fall of 50 centimeters at birth could not cause such a fracture.
