Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and the abortion hysterics in the mainstream media turned one mother’s tragic death into a PR field day.
The activist “news” site ProPublica marked the passing of 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman as the first abortion-related death, ruled “preventable,” by a state committee’s ruling Monday.
Thurman, a 28-year-old mother from Georgia, attempted to kill her unborn twins by swallowing abortion pills she legally obtained in North Carolina. Five days later, according to LifeNews, she contracted an infection from her babies’ remains that failed to leave her uterus.
She died in her local hospital before doctors could remove the infected parts left inside her.
The tragedy quickly became a viral horror story of an innocent woman killed by Georgia’s “oppressive” pro-life laws in a post-Roe v. Wade America.
“A Georgia Woman Has Died After an Abortion Ban Delayed Lifesaving Care, read the headline in Mother Jones.
“It Was Only a Matter of Time Before Abortion Bans Killed Someone,” read the New York Times.
“An Abortion Ban Killed Amber Thurman — And Likely Many More,” read The Nation.
Democrats immediately exploited the tale as a campaign advertisement.
A young mother from Georgia should be alive today, raising her son and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school.

This is exactly what we feared when Roe v. Wade was struck down. In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care.
“This is exactly what we feared when Roe v. Wade was struck down. In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care,” whined Harris.
Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again.

Survivors of rape and incest are being told they cannot make decisions about what happens next to their bodies.
And now women are dying. These are the…
“Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again,” she continued. “And now women are dying. These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”
Except none of this is true.
Georgia restricts abortion after an unborn baby develops a heartbeat, which begins at around six weeks into pregnancy. However, the law explicitly allows doctors to intervene in medical emergencies, as Leading OBGYN Dr. Christina Francis told LifeNews.
“Make no mistake: all state abortion bans currently in effect contain exceptions to ‘prevent the death’ or ‘preserve the life’ of the pregnant person,” Francis noted.
Doctors can remove the fetus from the mother if a heartbeat is no longer detected, which is applied in Thurman’s scenario. Both the hospital’s “medical negligence” and the dangerous side effects of abortion drugs are to blame for Thurman’s death, according to Francis, “not pro-life laws.”
“Rather than highlighting the dangers of these drugs, which have caused numerous deaths, abortion proponents are instead trying to blame Georgia’s laws in their push to protect induced abortion at all costs,” she told LifeNews.
But these little facts don’t align with the Left’s pro-death agenda. Don’t expect Harris or the mainstream media to retract their “disinformation.”
