On Saturday, activist Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., shared a pro-life meme that tells people their grandmothers carried part of them inside their wombs, and Facebook’s fact-checkers flagged that meme.
Here’s what the meme says:
This is so amazing.. Did you know that your grandmother carried part of you inside her womb? But how? Well. a female fetus is born with all the eggs she will ever have in her lifetime. So when your Grandmother was carrying your Mother in her womb. you were a tiny egg in your Mother’s ovaries, The three of you have been connected for a very long time. Women are amazing!
Alveda King called it an “amazing fact,” but Facebook insisted it was not and flagged the meme. According to Facebook’s “independent” fact-checkers, the meme is “missing context.”
Facebook relied on fact-checking from a site called Factly, which insists that the claim “is not unanimously accepted in the scientific community.”
“Though it was widely believed to be true, some recent research gives a possibility of ovaries growing new eggs though the research is not yet 100% definitive about the statement,” Factly states. “There is no conclusive evidence that new eggs are produced, yet from recent research, a possible ovarian stem cell reserve is disputed among scientists.”
Bizarrely, Factly even cites the Cleveland Clinic on this issue.
Here’s what they say on the matter:
During fetal life, there are about 6 million to 7 million eggs. From this time, no new eggs are produced. At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs; and by the time of puberty, only about 300,000 remain. Of these, only 300 to 400 will be ovulated during a woman’s reproductive lifetime. Fertility can drop as a woman ages

But after the leak of the draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which strikes down Roe v. Wade, it seems Facebook’s army of fact-checkers has decided to err on the side of censoring anything that is remotely pro-life — even something that is widely accepted as scientific fact.
The battle is spiritual, not political.
How dare she assume your Mother is female!
fake book “fact”checked me in to a 30 day ban..
why?
I posted a meme..
If your degree doesn’t provide enough value for you to pay it off it doesn’t provide enough for me to pay it off either.
Why is this a surprise? F-Book is enemy-occupied territory. When you post there, you are posting behind enemy lines. Remember that.
I’m banned for life and they didn’t say why. But they did attach a picture of a painting I had posted years ago of the feet of a man nailed to a cross.
honestly I am amazed I haven’t got the ban for life.
“So when your Grandmother was carrying your Mother in her womb. you were a tiny egg in your Mother’s ovaries,”
Half of you. And King said part if you. She could have said half of you.
The “fact check” is ludicrous.
If I had ever made a Fakebook account I’m sure I would be banned by now.
People see those fact checked stamps and automatically know it is true. It does the opposite of what they intend.
Of course this was flagged as misinformation.
It’s completely ridiculous.
No creature is born with all of its eggs or sperm. The body creates it. It starts to create it when the DNA chain dictates at puberty, then the DNA code atrophy during adding. Finally the DNA strand lacks the code for reproduction when something gets really old. The DNA that is recreated as a copy of a copy of a copy loses information. Creatures age and die.
To think that babies are born with all the eggs or sperm that they will go through is utter nonsense.. but I see even nurses spout this garbage.
So yeah. Misinformation.
RE: Of course this was flagged as misinformation. It’s completely ridiculous.
One of my liberal acquaintances shares on Facebook, the statement made by Joe Biden stating that the MAGA supporters of Trump are the most extreme in the history of America.
I’m still waiting for it to be flagged as misinformation.
And oh yeah, remember DOH Secretary Mayorkas telling us that white supremacy is the greatest threat to this country today? That was shared on Facebook too. I never saw a misinformation flag.
Were Facebook posts about Russia helping Trump win the presidency ever flagged as misinformation?
Sure, sperm cells are known to continuously be produced. But it’s long been common medical knowledge that women are born with, and don’t produce more, all of their egg cells. It’s only recently that mice have been found to have ovarian stem cells that can function as an emergency reserve to make more eggs, but I haven’t seen anything that claims humans do this also, but this is a news area I don’t specifically follow.
