She reports the story of Georgia woman Candi Miller, who found herself pregnant with doctors warning another pregnancy would be highly risky. He had diabetes, lupus, and hypertension.

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"When a state committee of experts in maternal health, including 10 doctors, reviewed her case this year at the end of August, they immediately decided it was 'preventable' and blamed the state’s abortion ban, according to members who spoke to ProPublica on the condition of anonymity."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •This week, we learn about Candi Miller, a Black Georgia woman who was afraid to go to the hospital to get an abortion for a pregnancy doctors had told her might kill her. She got a medication abortion, but 5% of these require an extra dose or a D&C to complete the abortion. She died at home because she knew she couldn’t get a D&C in the hospital.

Sometimes when you get what you want, more things than you anticipate come with it."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"The question of abortion rights is not only driving voter registration, it is also helping to forge a gender gap that we’ve not seen before. A recent poll in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania by Suffolk University found a gender gap in the high teens, with women favoring Harris by 17 points—a number never before seen."
