Much like his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota’s Democrat Gov. Tim Walz used his time on the 2024 vice presidential debate stage in New York City to lie about pro-life laws and advance Democrats’ abortion extremism.
Walz kicked off his first spiel on abortion by lamenting the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision because it opened the door for Republican states to enact popular pro-life limits. He named several women whom he claimed suffered “horrific” pregnancy complications but were refused treatment for them because of red state laws.
“We’re pro-women. We’re pro-freedom to make your own choice. We know what the implications are to not be that,” Walz said. “Women having miscarriages, women not getting the care, physicians feeling like they may be prosecuted for providing that care.”
The pro-life protections passed by GOP states do not criminalize treatments for spontaneous loss or complications. Instead, each and every policy includes exceptions for abortion when it is deemed necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.
Yet, Walz pushed ahead, even invoking the story of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman who died alongside her twin babies after suffering the dangerous and fatal side effects associated with the abortion pill responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions.
Tim Walz repeates the Amber Thurman lie. She died from abortion medication complications and medical negligence. Her d*ath had nothing to do with any kind of abortions laws. pic.twitter.com/CLdzRsc126
