Kamala Harris is blaming Donald Trump for the tragic death of a Georgia woman, even though a legal abortion is what led to her death.
The details: In a social media post on her X account yesterday, Harris said Amber Thurman, who died from complications after taking an abortion pill, “should be alive today” had it not been for “Trump Abortion Bans.”
Back up: In August 2022, Amber Thurman wanted to abort her unborn twin babies. Because she lived in Georgia, where abortion is illegal after a fetal heartbeat is detected, she traveled to North Carolina for the procedure. Because she arrived late, the clinic gave her an abortion pill, Mifepristone, instead.
- The medication did kill the babies, but part of their remains stayed in her body and caused an infection — a documented risk of this procedure.
Harris claims, “This is exactly what we feared when Roe v. Wade was struck down. In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care.”
Reality check: Amber Thurman did not die from a lack of abortion options. She died from the side effects of those abortion procedures that Kamala wants to be made more widely available.
Trump’s role: Donald Trump never created an abortion ban and has repeatedly stated that he would not support one at the federal level, favoring individual state voters deciding their own laws.
Big picture: Kamala has made abortion the cornerstone of her presidential campaign, which is grotesque enough. Politicizing a woman’s death is just cruel.
