When Abortion Bans Kill
Briefly

Amber Nicole Thurman, who died from complications of a medication abortion, exemplifies how restrictive state laws can delay necessary medical care, demonstrating preventable maternal mortality.
State maternal mortality review committee concluded Thurman's death was preventable, highlighting the critical need for timely medical procedures that are hindered by anti-abortion laws.
Many anti-abortion lawmakers ignore the realities of medication-induced abortions; research shows the risks of death are minimal compared to the legal and social obstacles faced by patients.
The strict abortion laws in Georgia not only endanger women’s lives but also reflect a worrying trend of prioritizing criminal prosecution over patient health in medical emergencies.
