Harris was referring to Amber Nicole Thurman, a 28-year-old mother who reportedly died in 2022 after a hospital in Georgia delayed lifesaving medical care when she experienced complications from a medication abortion. Thurman’s story was published in a riveting report from ProPublica stating that at least two women died after they couldn’t access legal abortions and timely medical care in Georgia, which has instituted a six-week abortion ban. The ProPublica report focused on Thurman’s death, although the publication said it will share details about the second abortion-related death in the days ahead.
“In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans are preventing doctors from providing basic medical care,” Harris said in her statement. “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 consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”
