ProPublica just won a Pulitzer for “reporter” Kavitha Surana’s vicious propaganda claiming Georgia mother Amber Thurman died because of pro-life laws

Well, Pulitzer himself was a co-founder of yellow journalism. So nice to see the prize named after him come full circle.

Not that it hasn't been a joke for decades already, but now, Ha!

The Georgia state abortion laws killed Amber Thurman.

{...
Amber Nicole Thurman (September 16, 1993 – August 19, 2022) was a 28-year-old medical assistant who died of septic shock and retained products of conception following a medication abortion. Georgia's maternal mortality committee determined that Thurman's death was preventable and noted that the voluntary delay in performing the dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure significantly contributed to her death.

Nope.

She died because she decided to medicate herself.

Twitter is not a source of anything other than hate speech.

Had the patient been treated properly when first told that she would die if her pregnancy continued, and given the abortion which would have saved her life, or if she hadn't feared arrest and imprisonment when she first had problems, the woman would be alive today.

The CDC has reported that of the more than 1200 women who have died from the complications of pregnancy and childbirth, 80% could have been saved with proper medical intervention.

"More than 80% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.​

A death is preventable if there was at least some chance it could have been avoided with reasonable changes to patient, family, provider, facility, system, and/or community factors."

There are consequences for this insanity and abuse of women. Doctors are leaving, and women are getting sterilized, because they're AFRAID of getting pregnant and dying.
