Pro-abortion politicians are doing all they can to utilize gut-wrenching stories to push their extreme abortion agenda. During the Vice Presidential Debate, Tim Walz, and now the Harris campaign are using Amber Thurman’s tragic death as a reason to expand abortion access, but read on for the heartbreaking truth about Amber. 

In 2022, Georgia native Amber Thurman sought an abortion after finding out she was pregnant with twins. Because of the Georgia LIFE Act, also known as the Heartbeat law, which seeks to protect unborn children when a fetal heartbeat is first detected, Thurman traveled to North Carolina to obtain an abortion — there, she was given harmful chemical abortion drugs at nine weeks. 

After taking these dangerous abortion drugs, she started experiencing complications that led to her vomiting blood and passing out — she was rushed to the hospital. Doctors should have immediately performed a dilation and curettage (D&C), a “standard medical procedure,” to remove the remaining infected tissue from her aborted twins from her uterus. A procedure that is commonly used for miscarriage management, and sadly for abortions as well. 

Unfortunately, Amber’s doctor did not perform the D&C procedure, and her complications from septic abortion worsened. At this point, Amber had developed an abnormally high white cell blood count paired with extremely low blood pressure.  

Amber went into emergency surgery the next day but tragically passed away on the operating table. It was too late. 

Pro-abortion leaders are manipulating this horrific story claiming that Georgia’s pro-life law caused her death when in reality the dangerous chemical abortion drugs she took and her doctor’s failure to perform a routine procedure (D&C) inevitably led to her unnecessary death.   In fact, Amber’s family is now suing the hospital for malpractice for failing to provide the necessary medical care.

Chemical abortion drugs carry with them significant risk to the mother, and end the life of a child. The warning label itself identifies the cause of Amber’s death as one of the fatal side effects of the chemical abortion drug mifepristone: “WARNING: SERIOUS AND SOMETIMES FATAL INFECTIONS OR BLEEDING” including “serious bacterial infections and sepsis.” 

Still, radical pro-abortion politicians have the audacity to blame Amber’s death on the Georgia pro-life, pro-woman Heartbeat law, even though it DID NOT PREVENT HER FROM RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE TO SAVE HER LIFE.  

Abortion extremists are unashamedly relying on Amber’s death as a “trojan horse” to push their abortion agenda.

Instead of acknowledging the truth—the reality that these abortion drugs are harmful and that Georgia’s law does not prevent women from receiving proper care— Amber’s story has been used as a means to push a shameful abortion agenda.   

Amber and countless others should still be alive, but side effects from chemical abortion drugs took the lives of their babies, caused serious complications, and eventually took their lives as well.   

These deaths are devastating. However, pro-life laws are not the reason for this tragedy. In a hearing last week, Senator Lankford reminded Americans that there is no pro-life law in the country that would prevent medical treatment to save the life of a pregnant woman, nor criminalizes her for having an abortion.  

Following the recent publicization of Amber’s death, U.S. Senators Murray (D- and Baldwin (D-WA) responded by not only sponsoring radical pro-abortion legislation but calling for a vote, all while deceptively blaming Georgia’s life protecting law for Amber’s death. Presidential candidate Kamala Harris also released a statement, claiming that Georgia’s pro-life law led to her death. This disinformation and fear mongering by pro-abortion leaders will only lead to more death and harm to both mom and baby.  

We cannot let abortion extremists blame pro-life laws for the tragic deaths of women like Amber.
