Following a report of preventable deaths in Georgia, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., sent letters to nine hospitals to investigate whether state abortion laws have delayed or prevented pregnant women from receiving life-saving medical care during miscarriages or other emergencies. Senate Republicans denied that state abortion laws impact women’s care in the U.S., arguing that criticisms of the laws are politically motivated and stem from a misunderstanding of existing abortion regulations.
Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker says that left-leaning politicians — including Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — are spreading false information for political gain, causing some women to hesitate when seeking medical care during emergencies.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:
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 Candi Miller, both circumstances applied, sadly.
Abortion advocates are sowing 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.
