Well, well, well. Looks like Hillary Clinton finally got fact-checked by her own side’s favorite platform. If you felt a jolt of déjà vu reading that, you’re not alone. Because once again, Democrats are playing the same old game: exploit a tragedy, mislead the public, and hope nobody digs into the details. Except this time, Facebook’s new community notes feature decided it wasn’t going to play along.
Here’s what happened: Clinton took to Facebook — on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s overturn — to spin a sob story for political gain. She blamed “Trump’s far-right Supreme Court majority” for the death of a woman named Amber Nicole Thurman, claiming she was denied emergency abortion care thanks to GOP-backed abortion laws. The emotional bait was set, the outrage machine primed. But then — oops — Facebook’s own users added a community note that pretty much dismantled the whole narrative.
Turns out Thurman didn’t die because of Georgia’s abortion laws. She died from sepsis after taking abortion pills in North Carolina. Yes, NC. She went to a hospital in Georgia after things went wrong, and even then, Georgia’s law allowed emergency care. The problem? Doctors waited nearly 20 hours to perform the life-saving procedure. Twenty. Hours. The law wasn’t the barrier. Medical incompetence — or negligence — was.
But if you listen to Clinton’s version, it was all because of “Trump’s far-right Supreme Court.” Because apparently every tragedy can be traced back to Republicans if you just squint hard enough and skip a few facts. Except this time, Facebook’s new community notes feature — ironically launched as a supposedly less-biased alternative to its previously biased fact-checkers — decided to toss a wrench in the narrative.
And here’s where it gets really rich: Even ProPublica, the left-wing outlet Clinton linked to, admitted in the 57th paragraph (because of course it’s buried that far down) that they couldn’t explain why the doctors delayed treatment. Not only that, but Ben Crump — yes, that Ben Crump, the progressive civil rights attorney — didn’t blame the law either. He blamed the doctors. His exact words? “There was no viable fetus or anything that would have prevented them from saving her life while she suffered.”
So let’s take stock. A woman dies tragically due to suspected malpractice. The Left spins it into a political weapon. The facts don’t support the claim. And Facebook — once a haven for progressive narratives — lets the truth squeak through in the form of a user-generated note. No apology. No retraction. Just silence.
And yet… Clinton’s original post is still up. Still spreading. Still emotionally weaponized. Because in the eyes of the Left, the ends justify the means — even if that means twisting a woman’s preventable death into campaign propaganda.
Oh, the irony:

Oh, and remember how the media went full throttle with these horror stories before the 2024 election? All over social media, you saw story after story implying that Republican-led abortion laws were causing women to die in ERs. It turns out many of those stories had a common theme: doctors not doing their jobs, hospitals dragging their feet, and facts that didn’t quite line up. But hey, it’s easier to scream “Trump wants to kill women” than to dig through hospital policy, isn’t it?
And here’s a kicker: Facebook’s community notes have barely corrected any misinformation on the platform so far. But this was one of the first? Why this story? Why now? Is it a fluke… or is Facebook actually starting to shift?
Because if they’re willing to start fact-checking Hillary Clinton… just imagine who’s next.
