(LifeNews) Abortion activists are stirring up unfounded fears once again that women will be criminally investigated for miscarriages if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

Newsweek promoted their false claims this week as the high court prepares to hear a major abortion case out of Mississippi.

The truth is that pro-life advocates and the laws that they fight for do not and never have punished women, including laws that protected unborn babies’ right to life in the decades before Roe v. Wade. But abortion activists view the issue as a matter of control, believing erroneously that pro-life advocates’ goal is to control women’s bodies, not protect unborn babies’ lives.
