Georgia Dismissed All Members of Maternal Mortality Committee After ProPublica’s Report on Amber Thurman, Candi Miller Deaths

In a letter, the state’s public health commissioner said the action was taken because “confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outside individuals.”

Yes, Texas’s abortion laws are killing women. @ProPublica reports on another case — 18-year-old Neveah Crain, who was diagnosed with sepsis but sent home because her six-month fetus had a heartbeat, and on a subsequent visit, had delayed care because the obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise.” She died hours later. She and her mother, Candace Fails are both devout anti-abortion Christians, but supported it in the event of life-threatening illness. “I know it sounds selfish, and God knows I would rather have both of them, but if I had to choose,” Fails said, “I would have chosen my daughter.”

Nevaeh Crain Died During a Miscarriage After Trying to Get Care in Texas Hospitals

It took 20 hours and three ER visits before doctors admitted the pregnant 18-year-old to the hospital as her condition worsened. She’s one of at least two women who died under Texas’ abortion ban.
