This article from The Washington Examiner criticizes ProPublica’s reporting on two cases of women who died after taking abortion pills, suggesting the outlet misrepresented the impact of post-Roe abortion restrictions.
The author, Isaac Schorr, argues that the reporting falsely implied that Georgia’s abortion laws were responsible for delays in life-saving care, even though the state’s restrictions allow for necessary medical procedures like dilation and curettage D&C.
Schorr contends that the issue lies not with the law but with misinformation surrounding it, and criticizes the media for promoting what he calls a misleading narrative, especially in the lead-up to Election Day, where abortion remains a key political issue.
He claims that these distortions serve to advance political goals, while simultaneously accusing the Left of engaging in subtle but harmful disinformation campaigns.
