Georgia Abortion Ban Linked to Preventable Deaths of Two Women

Amber Thurman and Candi Miller died after being denied timely medical procedures due to restrictive abortion laws.

Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old mother, died from sepsis after doctors delayed a routine D&C procedure due to Georgia's abortion ban.
Candi Miller, a 41-year-old woman with lupus, died at home after an incomplete abortion because she feared seeking medical help under the restrictive laws.
Both deaths were deemed preventable by a state maternal mortality review committee, which highlighted the impact of the abortion restrictions.
Vice President Kamala Harris and other critics blame the deaths on the anti-abortion laws enacted following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.
ProPublica's report emphasizes that while abortion pills are generally safe, the legal environment in Georgia created fatal delays in necessary medical care.
