A Amber Thurman would have saved his life routine dilation and recovery process. With that little bit of luck, the doctors could have removed the rest of the fetus that was left in her house after the medical abortion and had caused an infection. But Thurman, 28 years old, healthy Until then, the mother of a six-year-old child, she died 20 hours waiting at a hospital outside of Atlanta in 2022 for doctors to decide. And by the time they did it was too late his heart stopped on the work table.
Thurman’s problem is that he lives in it Georgia. Thurman’s problem is that he is one of those 22 states that they began to accept vetoes and worse restrictionsafter those United States Supreme Court will be cancelled that summer Constitutional protection of abortion.
And Thurman’s problem is, in addition to having to go to North Carolina for an abortion, losing her appointment because of traffic in a clinic full of women like her who come from states with restrictions , and you have to return home with medication to have an abortion without being able to stay nearby if there are complications, is that in the law of Georgia, like those of other states, doctors face prison sentences if they fail to comply with the procedure that blames dilation and curettage. Even with exceptions, the rules are written with one language that experts have already warned that it is dangerously vague.
His case went public this Monday ProPublica, The first of two investigative newspaper websites has brought to light this week the names and surnames of officially “prevent” death related to the state veto on abortion. And Thurman and another woman, Candi Miller, who, with serious health problems and scared by the Georgia veto, has opted out of aborting himself with drugs and is afraid to seek medical care when complications arise, is now protagonists in the election campaign for the presidential election.
By reading about them Kamala Harris immediately wanted to organize a speech on abortion and reproductive rights, the first since he won the Democratic nomination exclusive focus on an issue that has become the basis of his campaign and for many voters, especially women. And the word comes this Friday, appropriately enough, in Georgia.
“My daughter is not math”
Already the day before, is virtual event organized to mobilize voters for Harris Oprah WinfreyThe Vice President met Thurman’s family in person and listened to their pain. “My daughter is not math” the mother, Shanelle Williams, said through tears.
That’s the philosophy guiding Harris and the Democrats: put face and human history to the important reality of declining reproductive rights in the USA. “It is a health crisis and it will affect both patients and medical professionals“said the Democrat, who accused Donald Trump of being “the architect of the crisis“, he remembered that he had revealed himself “pride” installed three justices on the Supreme Court that ensured a conservative majority that overturned Roe v Wade and insisted that one in three women in the US lives in the state as well what he called “Trump vetoes“,
In a speech in Atlanta this Friday, Harris accepted Williams’ words, recalling that neither his daughter nor the other victims were a statistic and said their deaths were not only “preventable” but also “predictable.” And she spoke passionately, in a forceful contribution that reflected her long history as a fighter for reproductive rights. He was the first person in a White House position to visit an abortion clinic.
A real crisis
Since the Supreme Court returned the process to the states and vetoes and restrictions began to be implemented, it has been proven that the cases of pregnant women faced delays in health care or have been refuse from hospitals despite medical emergenciesa violation of federal law. In the AP analysis this year, for example, although we see problems in states without vetoes, an immediate spike is observed in states that implement them.
Las sad story occurred two years ago, the woman from Oklahoma who, with an unviable fetus, the doctors sent her to wait in the parking lot, told her that. They cannot take care of you until you literally “fall”. in their presence or with an increase in pressure such that it would guarantee a heart attack. The two in Texas and Florida ended up having abortions in public bathrooms. One from Arkansas entered septic shock and lost the baby after going to the emergency room and being sent home. Or at least four too ectopic pregnancy who have problems receiving treatment and care.
“The law prevents us from providing evidence-based care without having to think about the risk of criminal prosecution,” Dr. Nisha Verma, a Georgia psychologist, told the AP, adding that the state’s veto has created “a a vast area of fear, confusion and uncertainty” for the medical community.
