Kamala Harris blames Georgia abortion laws for death of two pregnant women who took abortion pills
By Laura Harris // Sep 27, 2024

Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris has blamed the anti-abortion laws of Georgia for the death of two women who took abortion pills.

During a campaign stop in Atlanta on Sept. 20, Harris spoke about Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old medical assistant and a single mother who died of sepsis after delays in receiving care at a hospital in Georgia. Thurman discovered she was pregnant with twins in August, but her focus was on her nursing career, so she decided to seek an abortion. Thurman traveled to North Carolina to seek a surgical procedure, but she was instead prescribed an abortion pill.

However, complications arose after she took the pills, which eventually led to her death.

In her speech, Harris claimed that Thurman was a victim of Georgia's pro-life law, which restricts abortion access after approximately six weeks of pregnancy. Harris also argued that the health complications of Thurman were exacerbated after the procedure because state doctors feared legal repercussions for providing post-abortion care.

"When she discovered that she was pregnant, she decided she wanted to have an abortion, but because of the Trump abortion ban here in Georgia, she was forced to travel out of state to receive the health care that she needed. But when she returned to Georgia, she needed additional care, so she went to a hospital. But, you see, under the Trump abortion ban, her doctors could have faced up to a decade in prison for providing Amber the care she needed," Harris said.

Harris also mentioned Candi Miller's story, whose life she said had been similarly affected by the state's abortion policies, but Harris did not elaborate on the case. "Now we know that at least two women – and those are only the stories we know – here in the state of Georgia died – died because of a Trump abortion ban," Harris said.

Live Action debunks falsehood about abortion law in Georgia

Kavitha Surana of ProPublica also made similar claims earlier this September, but pro-life organization Live Action disputed these claims. Surana wrote in her article that Thurman needed a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure to clear the fetal tissue from her uterus, but Piedmont Henry Hospital refused to do so for fear of violation of the new Georgia law.

However, Live Action clarified this is only true when they are used to intentionally terminate a pregnancy. Meaning, D&Cs, in general, remain legal for treating miscarriages or other medical conditions. Additionally, medical professionals involved in the case have not confirmed that the law was the reason for not performing a D&C sooner.

The organization also argued that Surana downplayed the known risks associated with the abortion pill, which includes sepsis – an improper response of the body to infection. Mifepristone, one of the drugs used in the abortion regimen, carries a black box warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about its potential dangers despite claims that it is "safer than Tylenol."

The pro-life group also fact-checked the abortion case and the death of Miller with the same claims.

All this fact-checking happened before Harris' campaign stop in Atlanta, but it didn't deter her from using Thurman and Miller to repeat falsehoods about abortion laws in Georgia.
