How We Report on Maternal Health — and How to Get in Touch With Our Team

For years, ProPublica has examined the deaths of pregnant women and new mothers to uncover problems that can prevent other deaths. Our reporting has sparked change. Now, we are investigating the impact of abortion bans on maternal health.

#AmberThurman’s #death has become a pawn in the #US #PresidentialElection

The 28 year old #mother from #Georgia #died when she couldn’t access #safe #abortioncare. But her #story has been #weaponised ahead of #November’s #election.

“I stand here as the vice presidential nominee saying the #Republican Party is proud to be the pro-life & the pro-family party,” Vance added. [doubt #CandiMiller & #AmberThurman would agree]

#Abortion is a politically fraught topic for the #GOP, & #AntiAbortion advocates have said #Trump is only backing away because he’s being advised by strategists & consultants to do so. That leaves groups looking to Vance, as his running mate, to tell them what’s *real* & what’s just #election year talk.

Thurman died after waiting 20 hours for emergency care under the state’s #abortion ban. Sen. Ron Wyden demanded records his committee could review to determine whether the hospital violated the law. “It’s not even a question,” one expert said.

“You’re looking at a mother that is broken,” said Shanette Williams, whose daughter, #AmberThurman, died in what was deemed a “preventable” death stemming from #Georgia’s #abortion restrictions. “The worst pain ever that a mother, that a parent, could ever feel, for her father & myself & the family—you’re looking at it.”

People in the audience were wiping their eyes by the time Thurman’s family members, including 2 sisters, finished speaking.

Cmtes like the one in #Georgia, set up in each state, often operate w/a 2-yr lag behind the cases they examine, meaning that experts are only now beginning to delve into #deaths that took place after #SCOTUS overturned the federal right to #abortion.

#AmberThurman’s case marks the first time an abortion-related #death, officially deemed “#preventable,” is coming to public light. ProPublica will share the story of the second in the coming days.

…just that summer, her state had made [#abortion] a #felony, w/few exceptions. Any #doctor who violated the new #Georgia #law could be prosecuted & face up to a decade in #prison.

#AmberThurman waited in #pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-yr-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking & her organs beginning to fail.

It took 20 hrs for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.
