Excerpt:
Our prediction has come to pass. Yesterday, ProPublica published an article attributing the death of Amber Nicole Thurman to Georgia’s pro-life laws.
Thurman legally obtained abortion pills in North Carolina to end the lives of her unborn twins. Five days later, after returning to her native Georgia, she experienced a serious complication: some of her babies’ remains were still in the uterus, and she was developing an infection.
… when Thurman went to the emergency room on the night of August 18, 2022, “doctors started Thurman on antibiotics and an IV drip” and “[t]he OB-GYN noted the possibility of doing a D&C the next day.” D&C stands for dilation and curettage, the surgical procedure that would have removed the twins’ remains from the uterus.
But the next morning came and went with no surgery. Doctors gave more IV fluid, escalated antibiotics, administered a blood pressure medication, tested her for pneumonia and STDs, and kept talking about – but not actually performing – the D&C.
By the time she finally went into the operating room, doctors determined she needed a hysterectomy. They also noticed serious blood flow problems to the bowel, which may have been a side effect of the blood pressure medication.
Thurman died on the table.
ProPublica allows that “[i]t is not clear from the records available why doctors waited to provide a D&C,” but quickly jumps to the implication that Georgia’s heartbeat law was to blame. The article focuses on alleged ambiguities in the medical emergency exception. But without any detectable fetal heartbeats, that exception didn’t even need to come into play.
