#Georgia Judge Lifts Six-Week #Abortion Ban After Deaths of Two Women Who Couldn’t Access Care
—
Abortion clinics rushed to provide care after a judge rejected the state’s ban, an order that could soon be paused by a higher court. It’s only the latest development since ProPublica reported the deaths of Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller.

“Miller, who died Nov. 12, 2022, had lupus, diabetes and hypertension, and doctors warned another pregnancy could kill her. She ordered abortion pills online, but she also did not expel all the fetal tissue and needed a D&C. Her family later told a coroner she hadn’t visited a doctor “due to the current legislation on pregnancies and abortions.” Her children watched her suffer in bed for days, moaning in pain. She ultimately took a lethal combination of painkillers.”
I find this even sadder than the stories of women who died in Emergency Rooms & hospital parking lots. She thought it was illegal for her to even try and get help (& I don’t know the fucking law in Georgia - maybe it was).
