GA Woman Dies After Being Denied Lifesaving Abortion Care

[skews13]

In her final hours, Amber Nicole Thurman suffered from a grave infection that her suburban Atlanta hospital was well-equipped to treat.

She’d taken abortion pills and encountered a rare complication; she had not expelled all of the fetal tissue from her body. She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine procedure to clear it from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C.

But just that summer, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison.

Thurman waited in pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-year-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her organs beginning to fail.

It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.

ProPublica details first-reported preventable deaths in GA due to abortion ban after fall of Roe

ProPublica has published a harrowing new report on how the fall or Roe and the resulting Trump abortion ban in Georgia has resulted in at least two confirmed deaths in that state due to the two women not being able to access a legal medical abortion...

Looks like Georgias governor and legislature has more blood on its hands.

Actually blame the doctors willing to use this as a talking point instead of taking the minor legal risk of treating someone who was trying to remove an already dead fetus.

Remember all the jokes the Neo-GOP crack about women. Will wonders never cease.

Vote the New Republicans out of office at every level of government ladies.

Can America ever come back to normal and civilized behaviour?

Once again assuming all women are abortion rights extremists.

This wasn't an abortion, the abortion already happened, if the fetus was dead this was similar to treating a miscarriage complication.

Not when one side lies about everything.

So the abortion pill killed her…

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Maybe she should have used birth control???

That is unacceptable in todays modern world and it would be interesting to see if the state and medical profession has learned anything.

Hospitals prime goal is to save lives and not to be politically correct.

Then they should have treated her and worried about the potential legal consequences afterwards.

And to me there were no legal consequences, because the fetus was already dead.

You created a system where helping people requires taking a legal risk.

GFY

 

[Votto]

More people need to learn of the dangers of abortion pills.

I read about a girl who was underage and took abortion pills without her parents knowing and then bleed to death.

Strange how these types of stories get ignored.

Or how about under aged girls being raped and killed by immigrants? Those stories are a dime a dozen these days, yet people like Skews don't seem to give a damn.

Funny that.

GFY

I didn't create anything. Some abortion radical's interpretation of the law designed to make this a fighting case created the situation.

Which makes this whole story suspect.

Doctors are afraid of radical prosecutors ready to make their lives hell and potentially throw them in jail.

This wasn't a problem before Dobbs.

Yeah, Daily Kos is always suspect.

This line is the kicker

ProPublica has published a harrowing new report on how the fall or Roe and the resulting Trump abortion ban in Georgia has

When did Trump pass an abortion ban in Georgia?

 

[martybegan]

The fetus was already dead. Any fear was in their own minds. If they truly believe in abortions they should risk it and let the courts figure it out.

This wasn't an abortion, the abortion already happened, if the fetus was dead this was similar to treating a miscarriage complication.

The new laws in certain states regarding abortion created the situation where doctor are afraid.

Remember ladies, the Dirty Don takes credit for robbing you of these once safe, life saving procedures.

Make sure you vote against the Neo-GOP's draconian policies.
