  1. > “Amber would be alive right now if it wasn’t for Donald Trump and Brian Kemp’s abortion ban,” said Mini Timmara, president of Reproductive Freedom for All. “They have blood on their hands.”

  2. We MUST never elect anti choice politicians again. These people are evil.

  3. Her death was ruled preventable. America sentences its mothers and daughters to death.

  4. They need to call a constitutional convention and get abortion rights ratified. Sure, it’s not going to pass on day one, but neither did womens right to vote. By putting it out there, there would be a real material goal to ‘codify roe v wade’ that isn’t dependent on the grace of the president to maintain over time. It would be an electoral boon for democrats

  5. A tragic story indeed, but perfectly acceptable for most RW voters.

  6. I hope her family sues the politicians who banned abortion in her state. I don’t know if that’s possible, but I think we need to financially pressure these Republicans politicians who have no business in a uterus

  8. If the Dems don’t pound this story all over the airwaves – especially in Georgia – they’d be making an unforgivable mistake.

  9. >Georgia had just passed a law that made performing dilation and curettage (D&C) a felony offense with medical exceptions that doctors had warned were vague and difficult to interpret.

    The ambiguity of the law is the point.

  10. Prepare for the right to deny this until the cows come home, make up conspiracy theories, false flag, bla bla bla… harass the family, etc. It’s what they do.

  11. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240916-us-woman-died-after-abortion-ban-delayed-her-medical-care-report) reduced by 82%. (I’m a bot)

    > Washington – Reproductive rights groups erupted in outrage Monday after ProPublica revealed that a Georgia woman died from delayed medical care caused by the US state's restrictive abortion law.

    > Amber Nicole Thurman, 28, developed a rare complication from abortion pills and died during emergency surgery in August 2022, with an official state committee blaming the fatal outcome on a "Preventable" lag in performing a critical procedure.

    > She wanted a surgical abortion, but Georgia's six-week abortion ban forced her to seek care at a clinic in North Carolina.

  13. Why did republicans need to let this happen again when they already knew this happened before Roe? They all voted for this knowing this would happen. 

  14. Blame the republicans in your lives. They’re the ones that voted for this. Each and every one of them. They like to far-away pretend that politicians are the problem. Don’t let them get away with it

  15. Make sure you ask friends and family if they are registered and if they have a plan to vote.

    And friends, don’t forget to check your registration too. Republicans love to “accidentally” kick you off of voter rolls.

  17. Republicans just really like letting people die who don’t need to.

    But sure – people life.

  20. Every anti-choice politician should be forced to look her family in the face and explain why they think she deserved to die.

  21. Trump and the Republicans should be paying for this with interest.

  22. “I see that as an absolute win” says the GOP.

  25. Just as long as they’re hurting the right people. /s

  27. Her name should serve as a rallying cry for everyone who champions women’s rights, like George Floyd did for BLM.

  29. That poor woman suffered. I’m just numb right now.

  30. This won’t be our Savita Halappanavar in Ireland moment, our lawmakers and a good number of voters don’t care if people die from this sort of stuff.

  31. This is what everyone wanted according to Trump at the debate.

    Absolutely disgusting, this is 100% blood on the “pro-life” GOP’s hands.

  33. I’ve seen this story pop up a few times today, but so confused as to why it’s only starting to gain traction. Wouldn’t this have been a huge story in 2022? This needs to be covered by all major news outlets ASAP

  34. She was a mother who felt she couldn’t carry a twin pregnancy while going back to school and providing for her six year old. That kid just lost his mom. As if those embryos could even give a shit about being born.

  35. And they are without a doubt going to try to use this to get mifepristone and misoprostol banned.

  36. That’s because to them, women are disposable. They don’t care. 

    Vote Blue.
