s opinion, but Pro Publica's partial synopsis of "Georgia’s maternal mortality committee".
I quoted a couple of doctors, Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Dr. Ingrid Skopp, also an OB/GYN and an anti-abortion advocate.
You cannot disregard the facts they presented, just because they are pro-life.
Do you reject the assertion that the mother's twin babies were already dead when she arrived at the hospital?
If so, upon what grounds?
Do deny that the abortion law would not apply to dead children?
Do you deny that the abortion law also had a provision for an exception for the life of the mother?
Do you deny the Washington Examiner's reporting that:
"ProPublica did not cite any experts blaming the law for the death of Thurman. Anti-abortion doctors and legal experts have said that the law did not prevent her from receiving treatment."?
If so, upon what grounds?
What do you disagree with in the following statement, and upon what grounds?:
Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told reporters before Harris’s speech that the signs Thurman presented with “would indicate a very severe bacterial infection.”
“In the setting of an induced abortion, the physician seeing her must suspect incomplete abortion,” Francis said. “In fact, any first year OB resident would be able to make that diagnosis, given those symptoms.”
The care necessary to treat Thurman’s severe infection would have been, according to Francis and her colleague, Dr. Ingrid Skopp, also an OB/GYN and and anti-abortion advocate, to quickly administer antibiotics and perform a D&C.
Katie Daniel, state policy director for SBA Pro-Life America, told reporters ahead of Harris’s speech that the argument that Georgia’s abortion ban caused these preventable deaths is “flatly false.”
