A woman lost her life in the U.S. because of his medieval decision that prohibits . Organizations for the protection of women’s rights expressed to them their indignation after the publication of an article in the ProPublica research journalism organization about the death of the young woman in Georgia, who died in hospital because she did not receive the necessary care due to the state’s strict legislation on abortion. 28-year-old Amber Thurman, presented rare complications after taking the abortion pill to end her pregnancy. He died in August 2022. Georgia State Committee – composed of experts and has a mission to investigate deaths aimed at improving maternal health – He appreciated that Thurman’s death “could have been avoided” and it was due to the fact that doctors were too late to perform an operation that could have saved her life. At that time a law had just been adopted in Georgia which made this operation – the uterine decomposition – an offence except for rare exceptions. Doctors who violate the law are faced with criminal prosecution and are at risk of being sentenced to up to ten years in prison. Health experts had warned that the law was not made clear enough. They had also pointed out that the provision that intervention is allowed in cases where “the life of the mother” is at risk is not based on scientific data and does not take into account the possible rapid deterioration of a woman’s health situation. “These destructive restrictions delayed the critical routine treatment she needed,” Thurman, denounced in her announcement Mini Timarahu, the Reproductive Freedom for All. Amber Thurman “should be alive today”, stressed Nancy Northup of the Center for Reproduction Rights. The U.S. Supreme Court, whose composition was changed as President Donald Trump resulting in becoming more conservative, canceled in June 2022 his previous decision protecting women’s right to abortion nationally. Since then many states have gone on to adopt strict laws that significantly restrict this right of women. According to the ProPublica media, which examined classified documents, this is the first death in the US associated with abortions and which could have been avoided. The chronicle of a pronounced death After taking the abortion pill Thurman, the mother of a six-year-old boy, began to have an irresistible bleeding and was taken to the hospital. There doctors saw that not all embryo tissue has been expelled and diagnosed “acute sepsis”. However, despite the rapid deterioration of her health, doctors waited 17 hours before proceeding to uterine detachment. Amber Thurman died during the surgery. According to the committee, there were “many possibilities” of saving her life if the surgery had been done sooner. “She died in the hospital, surrounded by medical personnel which could save her life,” feminist Jessica Valenti wrote to H. “This is the result of abortion restrictions”. The committees, such as that in Georgia, set up in each state, often consider cases with long delays, resulting in experts just starting to investigate the deaths recorded after the Supreme Court ruling of 2022.
