<p>Facebook Community Notes slapped Hillary Clinton with a correction on a post she made last month on the anniversary of the Supreme Court striking down <em>Roe v. Wade</em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Three years ago today, Trump&#8217;s far-right Supreme Court majority ended Americans&#8217; federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade,&#8221; Clinton posted on Facebook.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since then, over 100 women have been denied emergency abortion care. One of them, Amber Nicole Thurman, was only 28 and left behind a son,&#8221; the former Secretary of State continued. &#8220;Today, share her story — which you can find at <span class="html-span xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs"><span class="xt0psk2"><span class="xjp7ctv">ProPublica</span></span> </span>— and keep fighting for reproductive freedom for all.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alpha.facebook.com%2Fhillaryclinton%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02cu2bm82xNtUuxgEuVYHDxRrdjj8Gzh9JyHNuTjPpdeshWVYbsb2c7dFBU3SdZFdBl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Facebook&#8217;s new community note system, which replaced its heavily criticized fact-check system, did not let Clinton get away with that claim. Facebook users added a community note explaining that Thurman&#8217;s death, which went viral on social media shortly before the presidential election in November, was not due to Georgia&#8217;s abortion ban.</p>
<p>&#8220;Amber Thurman, 28, died from infection after taking abortion pills in NC. She went to a Georgia hospital when she became seriously ill,&#8221; Facebook&#8217;s community note read.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doctors delayed a needed D and C for nearly 20 hours despite Georgia law allowing emergency care,&#8221; the note said. &#8220;Her death was ruled preventable. Her family is suing for wrongful death and medical malpractice.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thurman had been pregnant with twins. She took the abortion pill, but her body failed to expel all fetal tissue, which caused sepsis, a deadly infection. The babies were already dead by the time she ended up at the hospital, and she was not seeking an abortion there. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, for some reason, doctors took </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">20 hours</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to do the life-saving dilation and curettage procedure to clear out her uterus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Georgia&#8217;s abortion law defines “abortion” as an act that “will, with reasonable likelihood, cause the death of an unborn child.” </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Removing the tissue of babies that had already died is not illegal.</span></p>
<p>Even ProPublica, the left-leaning outlet that published the original story, admitted in paragraph 57 that it is &#8220;not clear from the records available why doctors waited to provide a D&amp;C to Thurman.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Facebook community note on Clinton&#8217;s post also noted that attorney Ben Crump, who represented Thurman&#8217;s family, blamed doctors for her &#8220;preventable&#8221; death, not the Georgia abortion law.</p>
<p>“Even under Georgia law, the doctors had a duty to act to save Amber,” Crump <a href="https://spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/news/2024/10/01/lawsuit-amber-thurman-death-emergency-abortion">said</a>. “She had taken the abortion pills and there were tissues left. There was no viable fetus or anything that would have prevented them from saving her life while she suffered.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, Democrats and liberal activists hammered the stories of women who had supposedly died because of red state abortion bans. They warned that President Donald Trump wanted a national abortion ban even though he had specifically said he would not sign one.</p>
<p>However, those alarming stories <a href="https://x.com/MorningWire/status/1858250428774846723" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turned out</a> to be full of misinformation, and in the most viral cases, hospital malpractice, not GOP-led abortion bans, were the more likely cause of the women&#8217;s deaths.</p>
<p>Facebook announced in March that it would follow X&#8217;s lead and implement a community notes fact-checking feature. The social media giant said the goal was for the new system to be &#8220;less biased&#8221; than the previous third-party fact check system that critics said censored conservatives.</p>
<p>However, Facebook&#8217;s community notes does not appear to be as active in correcting misinformation on Facebook as X&#8217;s community notes is on X. The community note on Clinton&#8217;s post is one of the first high-profile corrections since the system was rolled out.</p>
