Amplify Legal is slamming Live Action News for viciously misrepresenting women forced to flee Idaho for abortions—painting them as murderers when they were desperate, medically compelled to act.

Live Action twisted her story, falsely claiming the pregnancy was “operable” and the abortion unnecessary—even inventing a “lethal injection” lie. This toxic misinformation
