Georgia's Deadly Abortion Ban: The Tragic Deaths of Two Black Women, Candi Miller & Amber Thurman 

They’re going to use this to say the abortion pill is not safe.

Thank you for covering this. HALF of Black women in the US are living in a state with an abortion ban.

If men think this doe not affect them also, they are sadly mistaken. In the blink of an eye, you can become a widowed single parent, a grieving parent due to loss of your daughter or a grieving son. Be wise and help women vote these cruel people out of office.

I lost my thridborn baby boy 8 months pregnant in March 2000, and even though I was using 3 different forms of birth control due to the fact I almost died... I found out I was 7 weeks pregnant in October 2000 when I miscarried one of my idenical twins. My heart goes out to all of the families that are suffering from the RePub's that are working overtime to take us back hundreds of years. 😞

THIS is what THEY want. I am disgusted.

Do the lives of black women matter enough to lose Trump Georgia? I hope so. We warned that this would happen. RIP Amber and Candi.

Sue them. How dare you control anyone's body. Disgusting.

Stop saying people get pregnant. Women get pregnant, and men don't. So when said people diminish women to just people. As a woman and mother, I find that offensive.

Means nothing to the MAGA Senators in GA after all the lives were Black Women .

Hearing that a DnC is criminalized in these states is terrifying. It is best practice in the event of a miscarriage to assure that there is not dead tissue remaining in a woman's uterous. Any dead tissue puts a woman at risk for serious infection and sepsis. I know that many women have had to manage their own miscarriage at home, where they can bleed to death or get a serious infection. DnC's are not only for pregnancy complications, but also for other reproductive issues. Politicians and law makers need to stop practicing medicine without a license.That's illegal, they shouldn't be allowed to do this.

What is incredible is there are people who call themselves pro life but will allow innocent women to die and don’t even see the irony.

Depraved indifference is what it is… a truly socially sick idea when it is required of people by law.

this is unacceptable & makes no sense . Putting women's lives at risk .

Vasectomy needs to be handled by the government if they want to continue this OUTRAGE! 2 of my republican sisters had abortions back in the 70s. My proud GA republican Mother told me in the 80s when I had a pregnancy scare telling me that I would have an abortion. I said no at 17! Never been more proud to be an independent. If you respect women & love any females vote 💙 💙 God bless America.

THANK YOU for mentioning the second woman who died. Most of the media has ignored this tragedy.

I'm thankful for the report and may it be shared everywhere. May their names not die forgotten. America failed them

These laws are cruel and insane

There are common sense ways of dealing with the abortion issue that would’ve prevented these deaths. ..so very sad

It makes me sick with the whole abortion debacle. No one has a right over my body

I had 2 missed abortions(when you miscarry but don’t pass the products of conception)years ago. I would have died 200 years ago, and now(think about that statement for a minute)

Men don’t feel or Experience what Women go thru This should not be in Politics

Really really tragic and unacceptable. I am a Muslim and have religious reservations about abortion, but medical reasons must be acknowledged and women must be supported. This way of making stern laws is disgusting. In the name of saving babies, they are killing mothers. How could that be acceptable to God?

They are not reporting the truth and they are not telling you the complete story.

Should be sued for malpractice

The fetus was already dead so why didn’t they just remove it…that makes no sense

A dnc is such an important procedure. For a procedure to be banned in the state of Georgia is absolutely tragic and ridiculous!

State abortion bans will affect pregnant women. If pregnant in an bc abortion banned state prepare to seek out friend and family in states that support abortions health care. Your life may depend on it.

These aren’t the only women that are going to die from these politicians policy(denied healthcare),,this is horrific and appalling to people around the world.

SisterSong's spokesperson is very articulate. I lived in GA for several years and can attest to what she says..and I am white and high income. Unfortunately the abortion and womens maternal healthcare crisis is just an aspect of the bigger issue of mysogyny in healthcare. ALL women are victims of it. All women are at risk, but the 4 to 5 times higher risk experienced by women of color in maternal outcomes also prevails in healthcare more generally. I have a rare medical condition and have barely escaped death 4 times by doctors who dismissed my issues even knowing the validity of my underlying condition. Our system is rotten to the core and it is this rot that enables maternal healthcare deserts, DNC bans and abortion bans. Until women stand up and scream - not, "we wont go back", but rather, "NO MORE" this will not end. Abortion rights are just the tip of the iceberg. Its time to fight back actively with all the tools at our disposal.

Back to the ...1950's, 1960's before Roe V. Wade. What occurred with these to Sisters was a daily story in the newspaper. Someone dying from a botched procedure. That did not include those who were left sterile.

Ladies 4B movement is essential. No more casual access to our bodies especially when we have to be forced to carry a child.

No one should have the right to use someone else’s body without their consent. A non-sentient being should never have more authority over your body than you, especially if it is to a detriment to your health. Vote Harris 💙

Thank you for letting ppl know what’s really going on. Too many “news” give tRump too many passes on what he does.

Down here in Texas... Around 10 years ago because of medical insurance issues for people on disabilities... A lady I knew very well literally threw herself down a set of steps tumbling to the bottom in her fifth month in order to abort the twins that she could not take care of.... As bad as that is.... It can even get worse

Amber died in agony, waiting 20 hours for help from doctors. Criminal

I’m tired of POLITICIANS and JUDGES playing medical DOCTORS and destroying family lives when they have NO MEDICAL TRAINING or LICENSES. Practicing without a license IS A FELONY. VOTE for SANITY BACK into America. VOTE💙💙💙💙

My mom, who had 2 abortions before the age of 18, told me that if a woman wants an abortion she should "just go to a different state". Im so disgusted with her. I told her this was going to happen. She didnt believe me. I sent her the video.

12 year old in Texas gave birth to her mothers boyfriends baby in Texas. The mother is in jail.

VASECTOMY

I've got two young daughters. While I'm personally against abortion (outside extreme reasons), I would still love my daughters should they choose a different personal opinion on the matter. That being said, If only for them to have the right to choose...I'll pay more at the pump. I'll pay more at the grocery store. No amount of money would be worth this scenario.

This is so heartbreaking 💔. Im so tired of all of this.

This is a shame, women we need to look out for ourselves and each other. Vote 💙💙💙 Donald Trump does not care, wake up!!!!

My wife had an ectotic pregnancy 10 years ago in a now abortion banned state.

Question: If this woman shouldn't get pregnant, why didn't she just get her tubes tied? .. seems like the obvious thing to do if she doesn't want to use birth control.

My condolences to the family.

This is horrifying. The 6 SCOTUS should be charged and given the Dth Penalty

Investigate politicians that practice medicine without a license because this is exactly what they are doing and to think, some of these politicians have nothing but a GED. How can you pass laws on healthcare and know nothing about the healthcare system? Pass a law to stop politicians from practicing medicine.

Ask the right questions where did she get the pills and would she still be alive if she didn’t take the pill, it’s not about roe versus wade being overturned the decision to abort the child is the cause

Black women, please wake up.

This tragic death of 3 people (mom and unborn twins) is not due to "an abortion ban." She suffered the complication of an unsuccessful abortion pills.

I would move out of Georgia or any other states with these laws. I know people will say not everybody can just up and move.... but if these states had no one living in them to pay taxes. See how quickly the laws would change.

Shame on our media for not covering these cases as this channel is properly doing. The country needs to hear the details, too many people judge without listening.

Don’t forget the deaths of millions of unborn with unique DNA

You need the right to your own body!

No accident. A similar case led to overthrow of Ireland's abortion ban. Similar cases have occurred in Poland. And no doubt elsewhere, again and again. It's not pro life, it's anti women.

😢this is so sad my ❤ go’s out to you all man this makes me so mad vote 💙let’s fix this

She is using Amber death for political purposes

How sad is this? Just realize it can happen to any child bearing woman in your family. You have the power to stop this by voting blue up and down the ballot. 💙💙🛐🛐💙

why are the viewcounts on videos regarding this topic so low? Why are so many people so indifferent to this? Also, all the forcedbirther-trolls in this comment section should go and listen to some Deicide records!

Come on Sista!!!! ❤ Its the truth!!!!

JD Vance and Donald Trump will decide what's right for women in the US. Think about it!

I work in health care and turned down a job in GA specifically because of their abortion ban. What people don't realize is that even an emergency D&C should be done by a physician who has been well trained on the procedure, and if you limit it to emergencies you will have trouble recruiting OBGYN doctors to your state for either residency programs and/or jobs. People are so tied up with the "abortion bad" view of medicine that they have no clue of the unintended consequence that these laws will just rid your states of all women's health care.

Iam outraged & so sorry for this family. My daughter was caught up in this nightmare of her baby dying in utero. She was fortunate that her doctor was supportive but warned her the pharmacy may not fill the scrip for the pill. The nightmare of her knowing her baby was already gone and doing this at home was horrendous. Praise God she survived physically but mentally no.

THIS DOESN'T FEEL like the USA.

Lies. AT's death had nothing to do with the Georgia law. She had used abortion pills in NC. On her return to GA, it was negligence of not performing timely curretage AFTER the baby had been aborted, NOT because of fear of being arrested There are 4 clear exceptions in the Georgia law, 3 of which would have prevented her death. No one talks about it. See the exceptions below: 1) To save the pregnant person's life. 2) To preserve the pregnant person's physical health 3) If the fetus is not expected to survive the pregnancy 4) If the pregnancy is a result of rape and/or incest

Shame on who ever set this order not law but order... Shame on you...😢

This needs to be changed to Trumps Abortion Ban. He did this

Shame on the doctors of Georgia for not helping these women😢

Best solution: disband the Supreme Court. or an Constitutional Amendment that outlaws people dying. or an Amendment that "women" can be what ever they want. of course how would the Supreme Court decide "what a women is" they are not biologist? What is a biologist anyway? I feel Tragic events should dictate laws. Vote with Dick Cheney to elect the government we can trust.

Brian Kemp this is on your hands too

I really do not understand why they try to convince us the south thaf they are a democracy.

What’s next for them? What about their children? What about the government’s law. What ‘s next?😭😭😭😭

Men should not have a vote in this at all...only women.

God bless Monica Simpson! Thank you verbalizing the problems !

So blaming Trump, and not the man & woman who created the life and then decided they didn’t want the baby…..or babies as in the Thurman story. I love how no personal accountability is taken here. So many steps could’ve been taken to prevent pregnancies and we’re just going to skip over all that and play political games.

Sometimes as a doctor you do the right thing knowing you are placing yourself at risk. That is just what you must do, because you took the shilling, and come what may.

There may be a reason the Georgia government isn't concerned about their desicions. What's common with these two unfortunate women. My sympathies to their friends and family. If a blonde blue-eyed white girl has this happen, it may carry more weight with the Georgian government.

This has nothing to do with Trump. Georgia bears this guilt. Also the doctors should have taken care of her. The baby was dead.

When there female family members have complications will the energy be different 😒

Be careful and responsible when engaging in sex…..men control your fire hydrogens…..no is ok

why won't democracy now interview jill stein??

I oppose of stringent abortion laws but in this case Georgia abortion laws can't stop emergency medical treatment after an abortion has already occurred. There was only residual tissue left that caused sepsis, there was no viable life at that point. The hospital should be liable, a bit of misinformation being peddled here.

Margaret Sanger is rolling in her grave.

Just what about my posts is SO controversial that they must be taken down? Is it my observation that when people who practice medicine without a license have killed someone by their malign and vile criminal actions they have committed murder? Is it my observation that the people who enact, uphold and sign into law vicious abortion bans are practicing medicine without a license?

How'd she even end up pregnant in the first place? I can't believe science hasn't advanced to the point of preventing pregnancy. They should make some medication that makes it harder to get pregnant. Maybe even make some kind of apparatus to put on sexual organs to prevent pregnancies.

Being pregnant is beautiful, and I know we all want to bring our child into this world, but if the pregnancy was not our choices or if it will hinder the women's health then it s/b a PRO-CHOICE! Men do not and will never know the feeling or pain of being pregnant so they shouldn't rule the women's decisions. 💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸Vote HARRIS/WALZ for reproductive rights!!!

I'm hoping the families sue my once great state of Georgia for whatever legal term is appropriate ; negligent homicide or wrongful death. based on the loss of life liberty & the pursuit of happiness, the 14th amendment, and the spirit of the constitution pertaining to equal creation & equal citizenship as our heartbeat law breaks all of the above. Kemp's heartbeat bill isn't even medically correct in it's wording about the so called "heartbeat" . sue & get this ridiculous law out of my state!

Dear free world, I am a resident of Ingushetia and I know how useful you are to the world in terms of educational technologies, we would also like you to give us technological progress in terms of everything and in civil and military technologies, thank you for the development of all mankind, we see and know everything that the most useful nation and country in the whole world❤️

Nobody should have authority over anyone’s body. If anyone is in a church their pastors must preach right so that their members know what God sees right and wrong. Prayerfully , they will have the change of heart if they just want to abort a child. I don’t think any woman should go through this. God looks at sin as sin. Fornication, adultery, lies, abortion etc; God sees sin as sin , none is worse than the other.

Heartbreaking and infuriating that women's healthcare is STILL a political football. Vote 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Just what about my posts is SO controversial that they must be taken down? Is it my observation that it is a matter of public record as to who voted for, upheld, or signed into law these vile and egregious abortion bans? Is it my observation that those are the same people responsible for the deaths of these women?

How can you deny medical care to a person suffering from a medical emergency? Regardless if the medical emergency was caused by an abortion pill, the women were suffering medical complications at that point. Dead fetal tissue is a medical complication not an abortion, obviously , as the tissue is dead. It’s sad that the people in this country has become so dehumanized, indifferent, and apathetic , they don’t have the practical wisdom to give medical care when needed.

No matter the law, you can always show examples of innocent victims of that law's application. If there was a more liberal law, a woman could die from a late term termination. I doubt left wing media would report on it, but conservative media would.

The prolife side will have these rebuttals. To the point of: 1) having to travel out of state, which makes her further from her source of "care" and from closer monitoring; hence putting her at risk. The proabortion claim is that the abortion pill is so safe that it can be mailed to women seeking abortion. There is no other drug which induces profuse bleeding with the accompanying risks that is prescribed with no medical monitoring. If the claim is that medically induced abortions can kill, then perhaps over the counter prescriptions and certainly mail dispensation should be prohibited all together. 2) Due to abortion bans, there is delay in seeking help when bleeding&pain do not subside because of fear of being caught commiting a crime. Is it the abortion bans or the misinformation of the proabortion side causing women to fear seeking help? This report would suggest the latter. There is no medical facility in the world that will turn away a woman with an incomplete abortion wether it is spontaneous (a.k.a miscarriage) or induced. In an incomplete abortion (baby dead, mother bleeding), nobody cares what caused it; the goal is ALWAYS help the mother evacuate. A D&C is NOT crimininalized for an incomplete abortion ANYWHERE, but it maybe delayed as a form of "expectant management". If you check the American College of OBGYN guidelines you will find that this may actually be recommended in some cases. Please try to be factual in your reporting, because as these tragic cases demonstrate it can make the difference between life and death. Also public health authorities ought to do a better job communicating these things.

This woman could've gotten the D&C. The law would allow it for her. The doctors are the ones directly responsible

These women could just have these babies and give them up for adoption

Why you are blaming Trump?

Just what about my posts is SO controversial that they must be taken down? Is it my observation that when people who practice medicine without a license have harmed or killed someone by their malign and vile criminal actions they should be sued for medical malpractice?

Georgia on my mind 💔

God alone will judge what happened to these families and all his creation. God says he knows us even in our mother’s womb. Please don’t use them as propaganda.
