Kamala Harris to Give Abortion Speech Blaming Trump for 2 Deaths in Georgia, Without EvidenceJoel B. Pollak 19 Sep 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver an address in Georgia blaming former President Donald Trump for two deaths in Georgia that, she will claim, were due to the state’s abortion laws, but where the causal links are dubious.
Georgia has banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Harris intends to give a speech based on claims by ProPublica, a liberal outlet, that the law caused the deaths of two women.
The Times said:
Vice President Kamala Harris will give remarks in Atlanta on Friday focused on the stories of two Georgia mothers whose deaths she has argued show the consequences of the strict abortion bans passed by Republicans after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
…
The deaths, reported this week by ProPublica, occurred in the months after Georgia passed a law banning abortion at six weeks. Amber Thurman died of sepsis resulting from an incomplete medication abortion after waiting 20 hours in a suburban Atlanta hospital for medical care. A second woman, Candi Miller, died after declining to seek medical care for complications from abortion medication.
…
In her remarks on Friday, Ms. Harris will call for restoring federal abortion rights and cite the women’s deaths as illustrating the devastating impacts of what she calls “Trump Abortion Bans,” according to the person with knowledge of her remarks.
Trump has not advocated for banning abortion at the state level. The restrictions that some conservative states have passed have been accompanied by — indeed, were often preceded by — broad new laws in liberal states guaranteeing abortion up to the moment of birth.
