We MUST never elect anti choice politicians again. These people are evil.

Her death was ruled preventable. America sentences its mothers and daughters to death.

They need to call a constitutional convention and get abortion rights ratified. Sure, it’s not going to pass on day one, but neither did womens right to vote. By putting it out there, there would be a real material goal to ‘codify roe v wade’ that isn’t dependent on the grace of the president to maintain over time. It would be an electoral boon for democrats

A tragic story indeed, but perfectly acceptable for most RW voters.

I hope her family sues the politicians who banned abortion in her state. I don’t know if that’s possible, but I think we need to financially pressure these Republicans politicians who have no business in a uterus

If the Dems don’t pound this story all over the airwaves – especially in Georgia – they’d be making an unforgivable mistake.

>Georgia had just passed a law that made performing dilation and curettage (D&C) a felony offense with medical exceptions that doctors had warned were vague and difficult to interpret.
The ambiguity of the law is the point.

Prepare for the right to deny this until the cows come home, make up conspiracy theories, false flag, bla bla bla… harass the family, etc. It’s what they do.
> 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.
> She wanted a surgical abortion, but Georgia's six-week abortion ban forced her to seek care at a clinic in North Carolina.
Why did republicans need to let this happen again when they already knew this happened before Roe? They all voted for this knowing this would happen.

Blame the republicans in your lives. They’re the ones that voted for this. Each and every one of them. They like to far-away pretend that politicians are the problem. Don’t let them get away with it
AnonAmbientLight on
Make sure you ask friends and family if they are registered and if they have a plan to vote.
I’m actually sort of surprised this is the first (reported) death. A tragedy that could’ve been avoided. We all know more will follow.
I move a lot for work, but I have approached the age where I want kids. One non-negotiable for me now is I will only move to pro-choice states until this is fixed.
Fuck the LIARS on the Supreme Court who said they would not reverse precedent. This death is on their hands.

Her name should serve as a rallying cry for everyone who champions women’s rights, like George Floyd did for BLM.

This won’t be our Savita Halappanavar in Ireland moment, our lawmakers and a good number of voters don’t care if people die from this sort of stuff.

guess no more voting for trump then…all he has to do is support abortion and he will gain so many votes

This is what everyone wanted according to Trump at the debate.
Absolutely disgusting, this is 100% blood on the “pro-life” GOP’s hands.

Just a battle of insurance lawyers. Hospital doesn’t wanna be liable, Carolina doesn’t wanna be liable. How far along was she at the time of taking the abortion pills? She was vomiting blood for several days before going to the hospital?

Damn, triple homicide.

I’ve seen this story pop up a few times today, but so confused as to why it’s only starting to gain traction. Wouldn’t this have been a huge story in 2022? This needs to be covered by all major news outlets ASAP

She was a mother who felt she couldn’t carry a twin pregnancy while going back to school and providing for her six year old. That kid just lost his mom. As if those embryos could even gave a shit about being born.

And friends, don’t forget to check your registration too. Republicans love to “accidentally” kick you off of voter rolls.
It’s a feature of gop legislation.
Republicans just really like letting people die who don’t need to.
But sure – people life.
Trump’s fault.
That poor woman. She was only 28 years old
Every anti-choice politician should be forced to look her family in the face and explain why they think she deserved to die.
Trump and the Republicans should be paying for this with interest.
“I see that as an absolute win” says the GOP.
Trump voters HATE women! 🗣️
Hey Scott, are you going to quibble about where this happened?
