HuntersLaptop2028 Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 This article covers the story of Amber Nicole Thurman, a woman who died of infection shortly after Georgia's 6 week abortion ban went into effect. Thurman, seeking an abortion, hoped a block of the ban would happen to allow her to have an abortion within the state, but in the 9th week she made the decision to travel to North Carolina for a surgical abortion. Due to traffic on the way to the appointment, the NC clinic was only able to offer Thurman mifepristone and misoprostol "and instructed [her] to go to the emergency room if complications developed". On Aug 18. 2022 Thurman vomited blood and passed out at home. She was taken to a hospital in which an ultrasound showed possible tissue remaining in her uterus, and noted an odor during her pelvic exam. Instead of performing the criminalized procedure, doctors continued Thurman on an IV drip and antibiotics. 17 hours after arriving, her condition deteriorating, Thurman was taken into the operating room. During abdominal surgery Thurman's heart stopped. Thurman's mother recalls her daughter's last words to her: “Promise me you’ll take care of my son.” A maternal mortality review committee concluded that Thurman being provided a surgical abortion earlier would have provided "good chance" of preventing her death. Attorneys representing the state of Georgia have called attempts to block the ban “hyperbolic fear mongering".

mat Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Tragic. I feel some extreme cases should be able to be worked out. However, this is an uproar for the life of one mother with no mention of all baby lives that have been saved. 5GallonBucket and thetragichippy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5GallonBucket Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 death was caused by complications from legal abortion drugs and medical malpractice dr s failed on this one Georgia’s pro-life law is not the issue.

baddog Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Big Girl will use this one instance to say that all women seeking an abortion are bleeding to death and being refused proper care. How revolting. I am sorry she died, but she also could have used birth control to prevent an obviously unwanted pregnancy. What an idea!

Big girl Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 However, Georgia's ban considers a D&C a felony if performed outside of specific circumstances and could land doctors behind bars for up to 10 years. This makes doctors hesitate This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddog Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Let’s worry about a doctor’s career over the taking of a life. You people’s moral and legal values are so skewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Let’s see, woman had a lawful abortion in another state. She had a “rare” complication, I am assuming after she returned home. Going by the article posted by Big girl, the GA law allows abortions (quoting the article) “only applied to imminent and acute life-threatening emergencies and did not extend to chronic health conditions, even those that can become lethal in pregnancy”. Okay, is a rare complication that may cause death is considered “chronic health condition”? I was c reading the federal National Institutes of Health website and it mentioned diseases or conditions that last over three months such as emphysema, heart, disease, cancer, etc. Perhaps this doctor mistook this emergency situation for the equivalent of a long term condition? The laws says that an abortion is allowed for life threatening emergencies. Did this doctor not spot the life threatening emergency? Apparently later he finally decided it was life threatening when it was too late. It sounds like medical malpractice with a convenient alibi. Uhhhh…. doctor, you messed up and killed a woman by waiting 20 hours for surgery. You either knew that it was life threatening and therefore exempt from the law and failed to act or you misdiagnosed it and did not think it was an emergency but rather thought it was “chronic” (how is a medical emergency from a treatment chronic). Feel free to choose either option. The law had nothing to do with this botched medical treatment and disaster. The doctor and his medical professional colleagues are merely looking for a scapegoat. thetragichippy and LumRaiderFan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
