This article examines recent claims about abortion laws in Georgia, Nevada, and Kentucky, compares the public narrative to the facts, and distinguishes between tragic medical outcomes and actions that are alleged crimes.

The Left has repeatedly mischaracterized state laws and specific cases to score political points, and the Georgia cases are a good example of that pattern. They blamed Georgia’s abortion laws for the death of Amber Nicole Thurman and used the story of Adriana Smith to suggest harsh outcomes, even though the situation with Smith was tied to a long-standing statute and a medical determination. Smith was pregnant when she was declared brain dead, and a Georgia law (GA Code § 31-32-9) that predates Dobbs was the basis for keeping Smith on life support until her son, Chance, was born last year and will be raised by Smith’s family.

They also pushed a misleading narrative about a Nevada case last year, claiming the state’s laws had been used to prosecute a woman after a miscarriage. The reality was starkly different: the woman was about seven months pregnant, intentionally smoked meth, ingested cinnamon, and took steps to force a late-term miscarriage. When she gave birth at roughly 28-32 weeks gestation, deputies believed the baby was born alive and then killed, and deputies said the woman admitted to those actions.

Now they’re back with the same tactic, pointing at Kentucky and insisting its laws are a tool to punish women who suffer miscarriages. The quick version: the headlines left out key facts and the context that separates ordinary miscarriages from alleged criminal conduct.

Here’s what officials reported in the Kentucky case. Deann Bennett, 27, and Charles Bennett, 32, were arrested after a year-long investigation that began when Deann went to the hospital in November 2024 for a “possible miscarriage.” Kentucky State Police say the couple told investigators the infant had been at their home, and subsequent evidence led to more serious allegations than an accidental loss of pregnancy.

Investigators found the infant’s body over an embankment outside the Bennett’s home, and the charges filed speak to that discovery. Deann Bennett faces charges of reckless homicide, tampering with physical evidence, abuse of a corpse, and concealing the birth of an infant. Charles Bennett faces charges of reckless homicide and concealing the birth of an infant.

Anyone following these reports should ask the obvious question about behavior and responsibility. How about not throwing the baby’s body over an embankment, for starters? Might be helpful.

There are at least 1 million miscarriages in America annually, and that scale shows how dangerous and dishonest it is to suggest red states are criminalizing ordinary pregnancy loss. If miscarriages were being prosecuted en masse, evidence would be everywhere, but the Left cannot produce those examples because they do not exist. Having a miscarriage is not criminal; disposing of a newborn’s body or actions that end a baby’s life are the sorts of conduct that trigger criminal charges.
