Trump abortion ban kills GA woman

She’d taken abortion pills and encountered a rare complication; she had not expelled all of the fetal tissue from her body. She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine procedure to clear it from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C.

But just that summer, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison.

Thurman waited in pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-year-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her organs beginning to fail.

there is no such thing as "trump abortion ban"
the supreme court overturned roe, which returned the decision to each state
Georgia made the law, not trump...

The US Supreme Court reveresed the Roe v. Wade ruling on Friday, June 24, 2022.

Any honest lawyer, judge or intelligent person with reading skills knew the 1973 ruling was an abuse of judicial authority.

It doesn't matter what your stance is on abortion.  What matters is you have to acknowledge that a Liberal court should not become activists by ruling that something is a "right" without substantial proof from the Constitution and existing case law.

Abortion was never a "right", just like there's no right to kill someone you think is the next Hitler.

The reversal only affected about half the states which increased restrictions on abortions. 

Amber Thurman didn't die because of abortion laws.  She died because she chose to drive to another state the get a surgical abortion after the GA maximum length for that had passed.  When she failed to get to the NC clinic soon enough, she was told she'd have to reschedule.  Rather than do that, she decided to take the advice of a clinic worker and take the "abortion pills" instead.

Amber was not facing a medical emergency until she decided to induce an abortion chemically. 

There are risks with every abortion.  She could have died during or after a surgical abortion.  We have no way to confirm or reject that outcome. 

We do know she was given counseling and presumably provided the list of risks for all her options.  in the end, she made that choice.

She did not have a "high risk pregnancy."  Her life was not at risk by carrying the children to term and giving birth.  What she wanted to do was kill the TWINS she was carrying because she didn't want to disrupt the comfortable life she was enjoying.

Quote
But when she learned she was pregnant with twins in the summer of 2022,
she quickly decided she needed to preserve her newfound stability, her best
friend, Ricaria Baker, told ProPublica. Thurman and her son had recently
moved out of her family’s home and into a gated apartment complex with a
pool, and she was planning to enroll in nursing school.

Sad, but she made the choice to end the pregnancy.  The consequences belong to her.  it's not the law's job to protect people from the consequences of their choices.

I can explain it in 3 words ...

No such thing.

What a selfish woman.  If she didn't want her twins, then put them up for adoption.  This is what a human would do.

What part of the article that says "Georgia Abortion Ban" the OP doesn't understand.

How strong, his TDS is.

The government shouldn't be the entity that decides what should be the ultimate responsibility of adults.

Very sad story but sounds like you should be criticizing Georgie's legislature and governor rather than trump.
