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.

1. This should not have happened, period. No excuses.

2. It's disgusting but everyone needs to know what Trump did

8. Absolutely.

I am truly sorry for any pain it may cause her family, but this needs to be spread far and wide!

Otoh, if they're like a lot of people, they may want to shout this from the rooftops. Either way, it needs to be out there.

3. When this happened in Ireland

The whole country was outraged, and the law was changed. Now the inevitable happened here. And the “pro-life” assholes will say she should have kept her legs closed.
I hope her family has good lawyers. The state committed wrongful death. Why mince words - murder.

10. Or they'll just call it fake news.

They like to do that whenever something awful happens as the result of these abortion bans. I'm sure it's much more convenient for them than actually learning the facts about what these bans do. /s

If you ever get curious about the kinds of mental contortions rabid forced birthers twist themselves into to justify their absolutist "no abortion ever!" stances, I recommend checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/insaneprolife/

That's a subrreddit where pro-choicers who have the stomach to hang out on "pro life" subreddits share some of the more outrageous things that are posted by forced birthers. I've learned a lot about how forced birth extremists think from reading r/insaneprolife. They're even crazier than I thought!

12. My stomach isn't up to that

But I’ve gotten into arguments on Quora where the pro-life idiots call these facts “propaganda.” Do they need photos of a woman bleeding out? Her dead body? This should be front-page news leading every network newscast tonight.

4. This is our future

under a RepubliKKKan regime, be it slobfather's or someone else's, until/unless they come to their senses and stop pandering to the Talibangelicals. Don't let it happen!

7. It's MAGAts' Project 2025 wet dream...banning contraceptives as well as abortion

See how well that turned out: google "Ceausescu" and "orphans."

6. This needs to be on the top of all media today

[poozwah]

9. let me get this straight

a woman dies because of the actions of the prolife crowd, right? guess fucking for chastity will soon be sanctioned by these same delusion people.

23. Yep tried to tell them myself

[sakabatou]

15. We knew this would happen. We told people this would happen.

And yet, people were fine with taking away women's health care.

16. Here's a better Yahoo link

https://www.yahoo.com/news/vp-says-womans-death-delayed-171631761.html

I actually couldn't get the story from the OP link. Yahoo has rewritten this to focus on Kamala Harris' comments concerning the unfortunate woman's death in Georgia.

This IS an important story, and I've found that Yahoo links are sometimes flaky. It's better to click through to the original source for the story whenever possible.

[usregimechange]

17. I wanted to find a title that was more focused on the news of her death verses reactions

Best one I could find.

[FakeNoose]

18. The link didn't lead to that story

I think Yahoo reworked it after you posted.

[Mysterian]

19. The American people failed this woman

I weep for my nation.

22. Well said
