The tragic case of Adriana Smith, a brain-dead Georgia mother kept on life support to preserve her unborn son, Chance, exposes the chilling reality of the pro-abortion movement's ideology, aptly termed a "death cult" by Olivia Murray in her May 23, 2025, American Thinker article. Far from championing women's autonomy, this movement reveals a relentless drive to extinguish life, rooted in lies, manipulation, and a rejection of God's sacred gift of creation. From a Christian perspective, the "abortion death march" is not merely a policy debate but a spiritual battle against a culture that devalues the image of God in both mother and child. This essay, continuing the Christian voice of prior reflections, details the pro-abortion movement's tactics, its moral and spiritual bankruptcy, and the Christian imperative to defend life with truth and love, drawing on the Smith case and broader trends to illuminate the stakes.
In February 2025, Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old Black nurse and mother, sought medical care for severe headaches, only to be sent home with medication. Within 24 hours, blood clots in her brain left her brain-dead. Pregnant with her second son, named Chance by her family, Smith's body is being sustained on life support due to Georgia's 2007 Advance Directive for Health Care Act, which mandates life-sustaining measures for viable foetuses unless explicitly refused by the patient. Smith, who intended to keep her baby, left no such directive, and her family supports giving Chance a chance at life, expressing hope that "he makes it" to birth.
Yet, pro-abortion activists, as Murray notes, have distorted this case with lies, falsely claiming Smith's family opposes life support and blaming Georgia's 2022 Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, a heartbeat-based abortion ban, rather than the 2007 law. Posts on X amplify this misinformation, with users like framing Smith's case as "forced pregnancy" under the LIFE Act, ignoring the family's wishes and the correct legal context. This deliberate obfuscation reveals the movement's true aim: not women's rights, but the destruction of unborn life, even when, as Murray argues, the mother "joyfully" embraces her role as a life-giver. For Christians, this mirrors the Biblical warning against those who "call evil good and good evil" (Isaiah 5:20), twisting truth to justify death.
The pro-abortion movement's tactics, as seen in the Smith case and beyond, form a death march that values ideology over humanity. Murray's charge that pro-abortion activists are "blood-thirsty demons" reflects their relentless push to end Chance's life, despite his mother's intent and his family's hope. This is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern, as documented in American Thinker and other sources, where the Left employs Soviet-style propaganda, media complicity, and legal manipulation to advance its agenda.
1.Deception and Misinformation: The Smith case exemplifies how pro-abortion activists spread lies, such as claiming the LIFE Act forces Smith's situation or that her family wants her off life support. Similarly, a May 2024 American Thinker post notes the abortion cartel's false narrative that abortion bans deny women healthcare, despite no medical necessity for abortion in cases like ectopic pregnancies or early deliveries. This echoes Lenin's call to sow "hate, revulsion, and scorn" toward opponents, as seen in Robert Merz's article, where socialist tactics vilify pro-life advocates as oppressive patriarchs.
2.Media Complicity: Mainstream media and Left-leaning outlets like Refinery29 amplify these lies, framing Smith's case as a dystopian "Handmaid's Tale" scenario while ignoring her family's wishes and the 2007 law's role. A March 2025 American Thinker post criticises media for hiding Trump's progress and Democratic hypocrisy, a tactic evident in their sanitizing of pro-abortion violence and rhetoric. Posts on X, like @broadwaybabyto's claim that Smith's death resulted from dismissed medical care, further distort the narrative to fuel outrage.
3.Legal Manipulation and Lawfare: The Left's "lawfare," described by Merz as a "dictatorship of the judiciary," seeks to undermine pro-life laws through activist judges and misinterpretations. In Smith's case, activists exploit confusion between the 2007 law and the LIFE Act to argue for fetal personhood's repeal, aiming for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to entrench abortion rights nationwide. A January 2025 American Thinker post notes how Democrats use lawfare to sideline conservatives, a strategy now targeting Georgia's pro-life framework.
4.Celebration of Death: The pro-abortion movement's rhetoric betrays a chilling nihilism. A March 2025 American Thinker post highlights Oregon's governor declaring an "abortion provider appreciation day," celebrating "baby murder" as a progressive triumph. Tim Walz's 2024 Pro Act, which allows babies surviving abortion attempts to be left to die, underscores this death-centric ideology. Murray's description of pro-abortionists as a "death cult" resonates with a January 2025 American Thinker article lamenting the "muted screams of millions of babies denied life" because they "weren't wanted."
This death march, as Merz warns, draws from socialist roots, echoing Lenin's call for violence and division. The pro-abortion movement's hatred for life mirrors the socialist disdain for Christian values, as seen in a December 2023 American Thinker post criticising the Left's contempt for heterosexual fathers and traditional family structures. For Christians, this is a rejection of God's command to "choose life" (Deuteronomy 30:19), replacing it with a culture of death that dehumanises both mother and child.
The Smith case highlights the human cost of this ideology. Smith's family, including her mother and 7-year-old son, faces mounting financial and emotional burdens, with costs for prolonged life
The Smith case highlights the human cost of this ideology. Smith's family, including her mother and 7-year-old son, faces mounting financial and emotional burdens, with costs for prolonged life support adding "more trauma, more questions," as April Newkirk told NBC News. This reflects a broader pattern: pro-abortion policies harm the vulnerable, particularly Black and low-income women, as Renee Bracey Sherman argues, noting that "people of colour are the canaries in the coal mines" for oppressive laws. Yet, the Left's solution, abortion, denies life rather than addressing systemic failures, such as Smith's initial medical dismissal.
Spiritually, the abortion death march is a rebellion against God's design. Psalm 139:13–14 declares that God knits us together in the womb, affirming the sanctity of unborn life like Chance's. The Left's insistence on framing Smith as an "incubator" dehumanises her, rejecting her God-given role as a mother who, as Murray notes, would likely "joyfully" sacrifice for her child. This echoes the socialist rejection of divine order, as seen in Merz's critique of the Left's globalist, anti-patriotic ethos, which chooses ideology over human dignity. The pro-abortion movement's crusade to end Chance's life, despite his family's hope, reflects a deeper spiritual malaise, a refusal to see the image of God in both mother and child. For Christians, this is a call to grieve the loss of a culture that once cherished life and to fight for its restoration through prayer and action.
The pro-abortion movement's death march demands a Christian response rooted in truth, love, and resistance. Christians must follow Christ's example of pursuing truth, even when it challenges prevailing narratives. The lies surrounding Smith's case, that her family opposes life support or that the LIFE Act is to blame, can be countered with clear facts: the 2007 Advance Directive for Health Care Act governs her situation, her family supports Chance's survival, and abortion is not a solution but a rejection of God's gift of life. As Ephesians 4:15 urges, Christians must "speak the truth in love," exposing the pro-abortion movement's deception while offering hope through the Gospel.
Love is paramount in this battle.
"Deranged, and dumb: Progressive pro-aborts want Adriana Smith dead, citing the wrong law, just so her baby doesn't get a chance at life
A death cult. I know it's not original, but the term perfectly describes the ideology of the average pro-abortion progressive, and a story out of Georgia emphasizes it all the more.
Here's the context: In February of this year, Adriana Smith, a young mother pregnant with her second little boy, went to the hospital with what she thought was a severe headache, so she was sent home with medication. Her head pain turned out to be blood clots, and within 24 hours, Smith had been declared brain dead.
Now, because of a 2007 state law, the Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care Act, Smith cannot be removed from life support since she did not leave behind express directions to withhold care if incapacitated while pregnant, and her in-utero baby boy is still very much alive and active. Here's how the state's very left public radio reported on Smith's story:
Another snag in maintaining autonomy, Sussman said, can come in the form of a piece of paperwork signed by people in health care facilities, called an advance directive, that is supposed to clearly define the medical decisions of a patient should they become incapacitated.
Under Georgia's version, unless the patient provides written permission against it, doctors are supposed to provide 'life-sustaining procedures' if a fetus is determined to be viable, even if the pregnant person is no longer able to birth them.
By all accounts Smith intended to keep her baby—there's no indication that she was pursuing abortion—who has now been named Chance by Smith's family, because as Smith's mother said, "he's getting a second chance" at life.
But, all of this has not stopped the pro-aborts from peddling a slew of lies, from claiming that Smith's family doesn't want her on life support to blaming Georgia's "Heartbeat Bill" law for Smith's situation. (In fact, her family has discussed how they're not even sure they can pull the plug after baby Chance arrives, and as I said, this has to do with a 2007 law—so the progressive idiots are way off.)
Which brings me to the crux of my blog: The abortion movement is nothing more than a bunch of blood-thirsty demons (which is obviously self-evident given the practice itself), and the motive isn't about women and it isn't about a woman's "right to choose." These "pro-choice" monsters want little Chance to die, because…? His mother clearly intended to keep him, and her family wants this baby, "hoping he makes it" to the day of his birth. Now, mothers don't have any moral right to kill their children, but that's irrelevant to Smith's situation: Since she was keeping her son, you could safely assume that she'd obviously and joyfully be an "incubator" for little Chance (if she had a say), opposed to the alternative. I mean, she's an "incubator" either way, whether conscious or not. (That's the language the pro-aborts are obsessively using to act as if the system is dehumanizing her—while they completely ignore surrogacy wombs-for-rent and the erasure of terms like "mother" and "woman.") Mothers lay their lives down for their children—figuratively and literally—and I imagine Smith would be no different.
Yet, these sickos are so wrapped around the axle, crusading to take Smith off of life support (despite that being against the family's wishes), just so Chance perishes—heaven forfend that a child would come at cost to the mother. Didn't you know? Pregnancy and motherhood are patriarchal and oppressive, and women were meant for much greater things, like a tiny cubicle under fluorescent lighting and a corporate boss who hates them!
These people are demented, and grossly evil.
