Senate Republicans Block Emergency Abortion Resolution After Georgia Deaths

Democrats push for nationwide abortion access following the deaths of two women in Georgia, but face GOP opposition.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution to ensure emergency access to abortion nationwide, introduced by Sen. Patty Murray.
The resolution followed the deaths of Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller in Georgia, who faced complications after taking abortion pills.
ProPublica reported that delays in necessary medical procedures, exacerbated by Georgia's abortion laws, contributed to the women's deaths.
Democrats argue that restrictive abortion laws are leading to preventable maternal deaths, while Republicans claim the resolution is unnecessary.
Sen. James Lankford and other Republicans maintain that abortion pills are dangerous and accuse Democrats of fearmongering.
