Amber Thurman and Candi Miller died shortly after Georgia’s anti-abortion limits took effect following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a campaign event, Friday, Sept. 13, 2024, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Vice President Kamala Harris will return to Atlanta on Friday to highlight her support for expanded abortion rights and link the deaths of two Georgia women who died after complications from abortion pills to former President Donald Trump’s policies.
“This young mother should be alive, raising her son, and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school,” Harris said of Thurman in a statement earlier this week. When Gov. Brian Kemp signed the bill into law in 2019, he kept a campaign promise to pass one of the strictest abortion laws in the country.Kemp spokesman Garrison Douglas said the exceptions put in place under Georgia law should have prevented the deaths of Thurman and Miller.
State Sen. Ed Setzler, an Acworth Republican who sponsored the 2019 abortion bill, called Thurman’s death a tragedy. He had not yet read the ProPublica piece about Miller. In 2021, the FDA issued guidance allowing abortion medication to be prescribed through the mail following a telehealth visit.
