The media in partnership with the pro-abortion lobby is at it again—twisting reality to paint 28-year-old Amber Thurman as yet another tragic victim of pro-life laws. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, Thurman chose to end the lives of her unborn twins after learning she was pregnant, seeking an abortion outside of Georgia due to the state’s laws. She took abortion pills that resulted in a rare deadly infection, which caused her death.

They would have you believe that she’s a martyr in the battle for so-called “reproductive rights,” whose life was senselessly lost due to a lack of “timely access to abortion care.” But let’s peel back the layers of deceit in this narrative. Thurman wasn’t victimized by the pro-life movement or by restrictive laws. No, she victimized her own children—two defenseless babies—and in doing so, brought about her own death.

The true story, stripped of all the self-righteous pro-abortion propaganda, is chillingly simple. Amber Thurman, a mother of one, became pregnant with twins in 2022. Instead of nurturing those lives—her own flesh and blood—she chose to snuff them out.

Why?

Because she didn’t want the responsibility. Because they were inconvenient. She made her choice, not because her life was in danger, but because, as the media likes to put it, she wanted to maintain her “stability.” She wanted to continue with her plans of enrolling in nursing school and living independently. But stability built on the graves of innocent children is no stability at all.

After Georgia’s heartbeat law prevented her from getting a surgical abortion past six weeks, Thurman took the deadly route of self-medicating, swallowing abortion pills to chemically end the lives of her twins.

The pills worked as expected—after all, they’re designed to kill—but they didn’t kill cleanly. An incomplete abortion meant that not all of the fetal tissue was expelled from her body. Her body, no longer the safe haven it should have been for her children, now became a battlefield of infection and decay.

Sepsis set in—a horrifying consequence of murder gone wrong. And yet, the pro-abortion narrative insists that the real problem was not the abortion itself, but the fact that she couldn’t receive immediate medical intervention.

They argue that restrictive laws created “confusion” among hospital staff, delaying the necessary procedure to save her life. But let’s be clear, Thurman didn’t need a D&C because she was a victim of miscarriage or medical emergency—she needed it because she initiated the sequence of events that led to her own demise. She chose death for her children, and in the end, death came for her too.

This wasn’t some tragic accident or case of medical neglect. It was the natural consequence of a culture that teaches women that killing their children is a “right.” Thurman’s death wasn’t the fault of Georgia’s pro-life laws, it was the result of her own decision to prioritize personal convenience over the lives of her twins. Her children didn’t get to walk out of that hospital—why should we pretend that Thurman’s death is the only one that matters?

For twenty hours, she lay in that hospital bed, her condition worsening by the minute. Her family weeps over her suffering, but where are the tears for the two lives she destroyed before stepping foot into that hospital? The medical staff delayed performing a D&C because they were legally bound not to perform abortions.

But let’s not confuse this with victimhood. The only true victims in this entire tragedy are the twin babies who were denied the chance to live—poisoned to death in the name of “choice.” Oh, and her six-year-old son she left behind.

So, no, Amber Thurman is not a martyr. She’s not the tragic face of pro-life legislation gone wrong. She’s the grim reminder of what happens when we turn away from God’s design for life and embrace a culture of death. The media may want to portray her as some kind of hero—someone who died because of the big, bad pro-life laws. But that’s not the truth. The truth is, Thurman is the perpetrator, and her children—the innocent lives extinguished before they ever drew breath—are the only actual victims mourning in this.

What’s ironic in all this is the absolute moral incoherence of the pro-abortion movement. They cry about women’s rights and bodily autonomy, but ignore the fact that abortion robs the most vulnerable—those still in the womb—of any rights at all.

They’re quick to weaponize Thurman’s death, as if it’s somehow an indictment of pro-life laws, when in reality, it’s an indictment of their own ideology. If abortion wasn’t sold as a quick fix for life’s inconveniences, maybe Thurman would still be alive today. And more importantly, so would her children.

We can’t and won’t celebrate Thurman’s death. But neither can we pretend that she was an innocent victim in all of this. The real tragedy is not that she died … the real tragedy is that she murdered her own children and died in the process.

Let the pro-abortion advocates wail all they want—they can’t erase the brutal reality of what abortion truly is, the taking of innocent life. Amber Thurman’s story should not be held up as a rallying cry for “abortion rights.” Instead, it should stand as a dire warning of the deadly consequences of a culture that devalues human life from the moment of conception.
