In response to abortion laws being passed in certain states, Planned Parenthood, led by that group’s president, have been warning about a SCOTUS challenge to Roe v. Wade and using a certain talking point:

Before Roe v. Wade, thousands of women died every year — and because of extreme attacks on safe, legal abortion care, this could happen again right here in America. #WeWontGoBack https://t.co/9orqLaif0J — Leana Wen, M.D. (@DrLeanaWen) April 24, 2019

Is that so?

WaPo Fact-checker gives 4 Pinocchios for often-repeated Planned Parenthood claim that "Thousands of women died every year pre-Roe" due to botched abortions:https://t.co/hh7qPE3Nd1 — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) May 29, 2019

Washington Post gave you 4 Pinocchios for this liehttps://t.co/cKsFL8TUW1 — Rambow (@MolecularZombi) May 29, 2019

Planned Parenthood’s spin was too much for even the Washington Post:

New #FactChecker –> Planned Parenthood’s false stat: ‘Thousands’ of women died every year before Roe https://t.co/jziiUNs0kF — Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) May 29, 2019

You hear this claim from Dems and @PPFA all the time, but there's no evidence that "thousands" of women died every year from botched abortions before Roe. Per @GlennKesslerWP https://t.co/IWOn6gtlSL #factsmatter — Paige W. Cunningham (@pw_cunningham) May 29, 2019

Another Dem talking point bites the dust.

So Planned Parenthood gets 4 Pinocchios for lying. This doesn't surprise me in the least. https://t.co/4HeFpskwbn — Persnickety (@Dawnsfire) May 29, 2019

Even The Washington Post has called you a LIAR??https://t.co/BtmqXreRa7 https://t.co/I4C8WEHkfd — Amanda Prestigiacomo (@AmandaPresto) May 29, 2019

Good to see some media pushback against Planned Parenthood’s falsehoods https://t.co/MRXTlly3Kg — Alexandra DeSanctis (@xan_desanctis) May 29, 2019
