Since the fall of Roe v. Wade<\/em> last year, abortion advocates have been issuing hysterical warnings of a future filled with women arrested or dying because they can’t access abortion. The reality, however, is nowhere near as grim; women have not been dying from an inability to intentionally kill their preborn children, and the much-publicized cases of so-called “medically necessary” abortions appear instead to be issues of medical malpractice<\/a> and neglect<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, in Ohio, a TikTok video has gone viral, claiming a woman has been jailed for having a miscarriage \u2014 but once again, the facts are not lining up with the pro-abortion media narrative.<\/p>\n

The viral story<\/h3>\n

A user named “tizzyent” posted a video yesterday, which has already racked up over 5,000 comments and over 60,000 “likes.” In it, he claimed a woman was arrested because of a miscarriage. Ultimately, he frames it as a symptom of evil pro-life laws, because women should be able to destroy their preborn babies’ bodies however they want. He wrote, “A 33 year old Ohio woman charged with a felony for having a miscarriage.” This statement is inaccurate<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
