D'OH! WaPo dumps Pinocchios all over Planned Parenthood president's favorite talking point

In response to abortion laws being passed in certain states, Planned Parenthood, led by that group’s president, have been warning about a SCOTUS challenge to Roe v. Wade and using a certain talking point:

Before Roe v. Wade, thousands of women died every year — and because of extreme attacks on safe, legal abortion care, this could happen again right here in America. #WeWontGoBack https://t.co/9orqLaif0J

Is that so?

Planned Parenthood’s spin was too much for even the Washington Post:

You hear this claim from Dems and @PPFA all the time, but there's no evidence that "thousands" of women died every year from botched abortions before Roe. Per @GlennKesslerWP https://t.co/IWOn6gtlSL #factsmatter
