We’re less than seven weeks out from election day, so you all might want to steel yourselves for the inevitable rhetoric around abortion that’s guaranteed to come your way. Courtesy of the Democrats, of course, whose agenda and messaging have for years centered on “abortion rights” and “reproductive health.” It’s their thing; they are ghouls who think they’re championing women.
The thing is, the pro-abortion cabal are extremely anti-woman.
Take the very sad case of Amber Thurman, a woman from Georgia who died in 2022 after suffering complications from the abortion pills she was given by a “reproductive health” facility. The first pill, mifepristone, was given to Thurman at a clinic in North Carolina; she was given the second pill, misoprostol, to take at home. Within a few days of taking the second pill, Thurman went to a local hospital seeking treatment for a number of issues, including bleeding, vomiting up blood, fainting spells, a high white blood cell count, and low blood pressure.
Amber Thurman became campaign fodder after the leftist “investigative journalism” site ProPublica published a story on her last week, and Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris have been exploiting and grossly misrepresenting Thurman’s death this week. You notice how Democrats never care about women dying from botched abortions until it makes for convenient campaign material?
The left is trying desperately to spin the story as the first abortion-related death following the reversal of Roe v. Wade. They are lying, of course. Abortionists set the sad chain of events in motion, and inadequate health care failed to fix the destruction brought on by the abortion pills in time to save Thurman.
The American Association of Pro Life OBGYNs (AAPLOG) tweeted a very detailed explanation of what actually happened to Amber Thurman, laying out how it all could have been avoided and how pro-life state laws did not prevent her from getting adequate medical care.
It’s worth a look if you’re on X, but here are some key takeaways:
- Amber presented with probable endometritis due to incomplete abortion with probable sepsis
- The standard care for treatment in this case is immediate antibiotics and a D&C
- Antibiotics weren’t given until Amber had been at the hospital over three hours
- The D&C wasn’t performed until the next day; Amber died on the operating table
- Georgia law does not criminalize doing a D&C, especially when there is a lack of a fetal heartbeat
