When author George Orwell warned that the manipulation of words would lead to political degradation, he had no idea how that would play out in the state of Texas. 

The leftist media, specifically, has weaponized language to ignite controversy regarding the state’s abortion laws. Early last week, for example, the pro-abortion movement and their allies in the media reacted hysterically to the story of a Texas couple that had suffered a traumatic miscarriage. 

In an article titled “How a couple found themselves tangled in Texas’ strict abortion laws after miscarriage,” the Dallas Morning News detailed the story of the Hamiltons and their traumatizing medical experience when the woman had a miscarriage. 

The husband, Ryan Hamilton, explained that his wife was 13 weeks along in the pregnancy when they were informed by the medical staff at Surepoint Emergency Center that there was no fetal heartbeat detected.

Surepoint staff provided her with a dosage of misoprostol, commonly known for causing a chemical abortion, to induce an early delivery of the deceased baby by emptying the uterus. The first prescribed dosage failed. And in a second attempt with a higher dosage of misoprostol, the woman was found unconscious on the bathroom floor from excessive bleeding. She was then rushed to a hospital where she eventually passed the pregnancy. 

The article details the requests and denials of an emergency dilation and curettage from the medical professionals at the Texas facilities the woman went to for help. The cause of these denials, according to the Dallas Morning News, was Texas’s abortion restrictions. 

The Texas Heartbeat Act, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and restrictions prior to Roe are all to blame for the tragic medical emergencies that this woman faced while miscarrying, abortion advocates have claimed. 

But, toward the end of the Dallas Morning News’s piece, there is a very important sentence: “It’s impossible to say whether the woman’s miscarriage care was influenced by the abortion bans, even though her case should fall outside the laws’ bounds.”

Seemingly an important line, buried at the bottom, when the entirety of the story is about the abortion laws that allegedly caused such traumatic medical problems for this family. 

Additionally, the Surepoint Emergency Center is a clinic and does not provide surgical care, making the facility unable to provide a surgical abortion. The couple did seek care from an actual hospital to get a second opinion, and there they were offered to schedule a dilation and curettage procedure. While the couple did need the medical attention in a timely manner, that had little to do with the Texas legislature or its abortion laws. But the media don’t want you to know that. 

And frustratingly, this story was intentionally manipulated through the harrowing details of this woman’s personal story. The media want to present evidence that the results of the abortion laws are impacting women negatively but can’t even skew the facts of a story well enough to fit their narrative.

Of course, that didn’t stop Democrats and the pro-abortion movement from running with the narrative anyway. Even the former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, took to social media to blame pro-life policies for the troubles of the Texas couple. “Another horrifying story of a woman being denied urgent medical care in Texas — thanks to abortion bans made possible by Donald Trump,” Clinton posted on X.

The leftist media are once again using inaccurate information to weaponize a deeply controversial political topic — in an election year, of course. They have no obligation to the facts, but rather seek to find stories they can twist and distort into fitting their political narrative. It’s dishonest. 

Eventually, though, the media will have to find factually accurate stories for their artillery and maybe try honest reporting for once.
