False abortion penalty claims by Left endanger women’s lives

Two women in Georgia died after receiving chemical abortion pills, and vice president Kamala Harris quickly sought to assign blame to former President Donald Trump Harris and politically allied abortion advocates falsely claim that laws in Georgia and some other states, end quote, prevent doctors from providing basic medical care. End quote, to women who experience abortion complication. Georgia’s law protects unborn children when there is a detectable human heartbeat, but provides several exceptions, including when a physician determines that a medical emergency exists or to remove a dead unborn child. In the tragic cases of these two women, Amber Thurman and candy Miller, both circumstances applied, sadly, abortion advocates are so in fear and confusion that is causing some women to delay seeking care, and some medical personnel to avoid providing care in a timely manner. No state in America penalizes women who have abortions. Yet that false claim by these abortion advocates causes some women to hesitate in seeking any type of care for complications after an abortion in cases where medical personnel are not properly trained about when they can perform procedures to remove a dead unborn child, the disinformation spread by Harris and her allies can erroneously cause them to believe they will be subject to legal penalties for performing medical procedures that are explicitly provided for in Georgia’s laws and other state laws. When the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA approved abortion drugs in 2000 under the administration of President Bill Clinton, the FDA set heightened safety standards. Women had to be seen in person by a doctor. They had to take the pills in person in a medical facility. They had to have an in person follow up to ensure that abortion was complete and the abortion pills could only be used up to seven weeks gestation. But in 2021 the Biden Harris administration weakened those safety standards by allowing abortion pills to be dispensed through the mail and providing that women don’t have to see a medical professional at any point. If either of these women in Georgia had an in person follow up appointment after taking the abortion pills, perhaps a doctor or nurse would have realized sooner that the remains of their unborn children had not been expelled and they were at risk of infection when reckless politicians saw fear and spread false information in an effort to reap Short term political gain, there can be tragic consequences. Emergency medical personnel and women should be told the truth and the care of patients should not be compromised by these false political actors and their dangerous rhetoric
