Is the new 'Wuthering Heights' promoting pro-abortion propaganda?

While changes should always be expected in film adaptations of famous novels, Emerald Fennell's new film adaptation of Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" turns the toxic relationship between main characters Heathcliff (played by Jacob Elordi) and Cathy (Margot Robbie) into a highly sexualized romance and changes the details surrounding Cathy's death.

These changes rocked a lot of viewers who were left wondering if Cathy's death, altered for the film, was a deliberate insertion of post-Dobbs pro-abortion propaganda.

Key Takeaways:

• The new film adaptation of "Wuthering Heights" is highly sexualized, featuring BDSM and kink themes.

• It also alters the storyline surrounding Cathy's death, replacing her death during childbirth with death from a post-miscarriage infection.

• Abortion advocates took this as an opportunity to spread lies and warped research to promote intentional killing by abortion as if it is a treatment for miscarriage.

The Details:

In the classic novel, Cathy and Heathcliff have a destructive relationship that ruins their own lives and the lives of those around them.

In the new film, their relationship is more erotic, and BDSM and 'kink' themes abound.

For The Conversation, Anna Drury explained that in this film, "domestic abuse has been recast as consensual kink." It's quite disturbing, but it fits in well with Planned Parenthood's vision for society.

John M. Grondelski, Ph.D., explained at Catholic World Review, "The director's shift to sex reflects other shifts in the moral focus of Wuthering Heights, as many of the novel's underlying moral themes are gone."

Cathy's death also gets a reimagining.

In the novel, Cathy dies during childbirth, but her daughter (with husband Edgar Linton) lives and is also named Cathy. A new life brings new hope.

In the new film, however, Cathy experiences a miscarriage that goes untreated, leading to sepsis and her death. Cathy dies along with her baby, completely altering the storyline, which fits the narrative of pro-abortion enthusiasts who have been claiming that women will die from miscarriage as a result of the reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

Grondelski writes, "In the film, the baby is miscarried, and the mother dies of sepsis. Is this a feint to the post-Dobbs orthodoxy that 21st-century pregnancy is inherently dangerous?"

Between the Lines:

Abortion advocates apparently didn't miss the message either, and took it as an opportunity to spread lies and warped research to promote induced abortion (which is intentional killing) as a treatment for miscarriage.

Hey Jane Health, a virtual abortion facility, took to social media with a movie "Spoiler Alert" that promoted abortion under the guise of protecting women from miscarriage-related infections.

"So at the end of the movie, Catherine has a miscarriage, and she ends up dying," said Hey Jane Health, adding:

"And it got us thinking about something that people don't talk about enough. When someone has a miscarriage, their body doesn't always pass everything on its own, and when that happens in present day, doctors use the same medications or procedures that they use during abortion care, like misoprostol or a D and C. These methods safely clear the uterus and prevent infections or dangerous bleeding, but when abortion bans pop up, this care for miscarriages gets restricted too."

No, it does not. The laws of pro-life states note the legal distinction between intentional killing via induced abortion and treating a miscarriage (in which the baby has already died). But you never see abortion advocates explaining this; it behooves them to continue the misinformation, deceptively instilling fear into women so that they can garner more support for intentional killing by abortion.

Hey Jane continued:

"And doctors are sometimes afraid to provide it. That means that some patients can be sent home while bleeding until it becomes an emergency.

And just as an example, in Texas, after abortion was banned, researchers found that blood transfusions during early miscarriages increased by more than 50%, which is a sign that people were not getting timely care.

So abortion access isn't just about choice; it's about safety. It's about making sure miscarriages don't become medical emergencies."

No, it's not. This is a blatant lie from a group whose primary business model depends upon women continuing to intentionally kill their preborn children by pill. Women who have miscarried are not ordering abortion pills online from Hey Jane, but the ones attempting to intentionally kill their babies are.

And it's surprising that Hey Jane would express concern about women "bleeding" at home "until it becomes an emergency," since they dispense the abortion pill, which comes with a risk of causing women to hemorrhage. Nearly 11% of women who take the abortion pill, according to a recent analysis, end up suffering 'serious adverse events' — with more than 3% of those women suffering hemorrhage. (Using recent estimates, this would equate to nearly 25,000 women every year.)

First of all, procedures themselves — such as a D&C — are not prohibited by law. It is the act of using a D&C to intentionally kill a living preborn baby that is prohibited. Miscarriage treatments are not restricted in any state. If doctors are "afraid" of doing their jobs, the problem is with the hospital system, not the law. It isn't hard to distinguish killing from removing a dead body. Misoprostol, too, is not prohibited unless it is being used to intentionally kill.

As for the increase in blood transfusions for miscarriages, those behind the ProPublica data analysis admitted that the findings "can't be confirmed." The increase in blood transfusions could be related to both the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased use of the abortion pill, with its risk of hemorrhage.

The Bottom Line:

Abortion groups have been aligned with Hollywood for decades, working abortion into storylines to normalize it and make it appear to be health care. It wouldn't be surprising if Hollywood were now moving to scare women about miscarriage treatment.
