Women are not ‘community property,’ a Georgia judge strikes down 6 week abortion ban washingtonpost.com/opinions/20…
Love the bluntness: “It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could—or should—force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another,”

Pres. #Biden hits #Trump for lying about reaching out to the governor of #Georgia post-Helene:
"He's lying and the governor told him he was lying. The governor told him he's lying. I've spoken to the gov., I spent time w him & he told me he's lying. I don't know why he does this. & the reason I get so angry about—I don't care about what he says about me—I care what he what he communicates to ppl that are in need, implies that we're not doing everything poss. We are. We are."

NEW: The new election rules in #Georgia will almost certainly *not* hamstring the certification of the state’s electoral votes. And even if certification is delayed, such delays do not open up a legal loophole for #Trump to steal the presidency. I explain.

Lawrence on Trump's deadly abortion ban: 'Women are dying. They got what they wanted.’
Amber Nicole Thurman died after doctors delayed her life-saving abortion care. Her death was ruled “preventable” by the Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Com...YouTube
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.

"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."

Miller ordered abortion pills online then found that she could not expel all the fetal tissue and needed a D&C procedure, which she knew doctors would not perform under current post-Roe Georgia law.

Kavitha Surana offers another sobering report today on how the decision of the Republican-stacked Supreme Court to rip abortion rights from women is putting American women at great risk.
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.
