When victims of abortion complications like Amber Thurman die in pro-life states, abortion activists, Democrats, and corporate media exploit their suffering to draw ire towards policies designed to protect women and babies in the womb. When a Colorado teenager died in 2025 of complications that a newly unredacted autopsy confirmed were directly linked to a late-term abortion completed by Planned Parenthood, the same people who purported to be champions of women’s health during the 2024 election cycle were suddenly radio silent.
Colorado permits abortion at any point in pregnancy and maintains some of the laxest public health and safety standards for facilities known to perform late-term abortions. So when 18-year-old Alexis Lynn Arguello entered a Fort Collins, Colorado Planned Parenthood in February 2025 requesting an abortion at nearly 22 weeks pregnant, no one batted an eye.
