Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother’s Death Was Preventable. (www.propublica.org)

Tasked with examining pregnancy-related deaths to improve maternal health, the experts, including 10 doctors, deemed hers “preventable” and said the hospital’s delay in performing the critical procedure had a “large” impact on her fatal outcome.

Their reviews of individual patient cases are not made public. But ProPublica obtained reports that confirm that at least two women have already died after they couldn’t access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state.

There are almost certainly others.

Every law maker that signed off on the abortion ban should be charged with complicity in her death.

Not all of those lawmakers even agree that women are people.

Incorrect, they agree they are people. They simply believe people can be owned. They are the descendants of people owners.
