"But Georgia’s abortion ban outlawed the D&C procedure, making it a felony to perform except in cases of managing a 'spontaneous' or 'naturally occurring' miscarriage. Because Thurman had taken abortion pills, her miscarriage was illegal to treat. She suffered in a hospital bed for 20 hours, developing sepsis and beginning to experience organ failure. By the time the Georgia doctors were finally willing to treat her, it was too late."
This is incredibly important! GA has imposed the death penalty - without trial - for self managed abortion. When a person is caught in the act of a crime and stopped by the police shooting them, they are immediately taken to the hospital and efforts are made to save them so that they can face justice. This is completely reprehensible!
