  1. To some republicans, “This was her civic duty”. I guarantee you this is their thinking. My condolences to her family and may she rest in peace.

  2. Amber Nicole Thurman was murdered by The Republican Party. She will not be the last victim of their cruel plans.

  3. Republicans do nothing to protect kids from school shootings and are willing to let adult women die because they want to restrict healthcare all in the name of how pro life they are.

  4. It was only a matter of time. The “Pro Life” party is anything but. Republicans are putting Women’s lives in danger.

    There is a good article in Glamour about women voting in 2024 and what is at stake, particularly for women, in this election. While women vote at a higher rate than men, only 56% of women, age 18 to 29, are registered to vote.

    A majority of registered voters in this age group are Democratic, but there is also a large percentage who or apathetic, and have no political leaning at all. It is a huge opportunity for the Harris Walz campaign to reach out to this demographic and tell them how much their vote matters.

  5. The Republican party is the party of “All 50 states wanted this”. They’re the party of school shootings are “a fact of life”.

  6. “Amber’s case is just an example of the ongoing systemic negligence that continues to claim the lives of Black folks.”

    As with everything else, this will affect Black women the most — we owe it to them to VOTE like their lives depend on it.

    Well there it is. Someone’s death that was easily predicted would happen has happened. She never needed to die, and wasn’t going to, until Thomas cited a centuries-old witch hunter as a reason to pitch out Roe V Wade, and the rest of the conservative judges joined in to do it.

    This is on the conservative SCOTUS members’ hands. And the GOP who helped engineer their presence on that court.

    > A 28-year-old medical assistant and Black single mother in Georgia died from a severe infection after a hospital delayed a routine medical procedure that had been outlawed under that state's six-week abortion ban.

    > "These devastating bans did not only block Amber, and many others, from accessing abortion care in her state, they also delayed the routine life-saving care she later needed, leaving her to suffer and die," Timmaraju said during the press call on Monday.

    > While every state abortion ban contains exceptions to save the life of the pregnant person, uncertainty among medical providers over exactly when doctors can step in without fear of being prosecuted has led to delays in medical care for pregnant woman across the country, with devastating consequences.

    Let’s honor this woman’s death by voting for a candidate who will ensure this situation won’t happen for other women.

    So they murdered her. They should suffer the consequences for killing someone who went against their cult

  11. The Democrats should march her family right out in front of the lights and cameras! Oh wait…making hay out of a family’s personal loss is a Republican move.

  12. TLDR:
    She took an abortion pill after 6 weeks and went into sepsis from the internal bleeding issues. Whereas normally a hospital would treat her the same as a miscarriage and help remove the dead tissue- here they waited to long for fear of prosecution, etc.

    The christoFascist will argue she did this to herself and use the story to scare others away from abortion pills.
    The right wing politicians will use this as an excuse to try and ban the pill, saying it’s safe.

    Meanwhile if she were simply allowed a safe abortion she’d be alive today.

    But she was a single black mom so don’t expect this to change any white politician’s mind.
    Sad and tragic and wrong and it’s gonna be a long fight.
    We gotta get people registered folks.

    The problem is that religious folks will see this as what God has chosen. We need to “let God decide. It is not for us mortals to question God”.

    It’s very disturbing that these people can accept a woman dying as God’s will but if they are sick, they’ll want the latest and greatest in medical care.

    jesus christ… i am so sick of hearing about the suffering the magas cause folks.. This has to stop.. Fucking vote that POS trump out.. WE WILL NOT GO BACK.

  15. A d and c after a partial miscarriage, a natural miscarriage, or a one from an incomplete abortion, is basic care. There is no going back to save a fetus at that point. This person needed help and not a delay. It was a crime to delay.

  16. Hope her family sues all those involved for millions, also that some very rich person helps them with the best attorneys available until she gets her case won.

  17. Women and children dying because of Repubs.
    “Get over it!”

    A twice impeached felon gets grazed by a bullet
    “Disgusting, pray for him. No one deserves to die no matter how much we disagree”

    We need to vote this cancer out this November.

  18. Sue the lawmakers. Sue their pants off. Make their taxpayers suffer the burden of a court case. Malicious laws should be attacked by the masses they are meant to repress.

  19. Remember Amber Nicole Thurman’s name when you go to vote. Remember what Republicans have done to her and countless others. Remember how evil they are. Vote like yours and your loved ones’ life depends on it, because it does.

    Six justices and one former president should be charged with murder or manslaughter.

    I’m not kidding. Their actions directly led to this woman’s death.

  21. Women are disposable to the GOP: Men in that party just move onto the next one when they want.

    Remember, Pro-Life isn’t about saving children, it is about hating women. If you know a prolifer you know someone who hates women.

    Vote like lives are on the line…because they literally are. This headline needs to be plastered everywhere.
