A misleading story about the death of a Georgia woman found Vice President Kamala Harris dialing up the rhetoric to 11 as she asserted, “These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”

The day after another attempted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the GOP leader asserted Harris and President Joe Biden’s continued characterization of him as a “threat” had motivated the suspect. The same day, ProPublica produced a hit piece on the tragic but avoidable death of 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman that centered on the overturning of Roe v. Wade, teeing the vice president up to fault Trump that “now women are dying.”

“This young mother should be alive, raising her son, and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school,” a statement from Harris shared by spokeswoman Lauren Hitt read. “This is exactly what we feared when Roe was struck down. In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans are preventing doctors from providing basic medical care. Women are bleeding out in parking lots, turned away from emergency rooms, losing their ability to ever have children again. Survivors of rape and incest are being told they cannot make decisions about what happens next to their bodies. And now women are dying. These are the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions.”

ProPublica cited Thurman’s friend Ricaria Baker when they detailed how the woman had “quickly decided she needed to preserve her newfound stability” after learning she was expecting twins in the summer of 2022.

Given the choice between rescheduling her appointment for a surgical abortion in North Carolina or accepting the offer of mifepristone and misoprostol from a clinic employee, Thurman chose the latter at nine weeks into her pregnancy.

Recounting how days after taking the abortifacient the mother was admitted to the hospital with sepsis after the remains of her by then-dead, unborn children had not been fully expelled, doctors decided to put off dilation and curettage (D&C) until the following day.

ProPublica even stated, “It is not clear from the records available why doctors waited to provide a D&C to Thurman, though the summary reports shows they discussed the procedure at least twice in the hours before they finally did.”

Though Harris readily faulted pro-life laws and Trump for the death, Georgia law clearly exceptions “in the event of a medical emergency” for abortions, and “The law does not prohibit the removal of a dead unborn child caused by a spontaneous abortion or the removal of an ectopic pregnancy.”

LifeNews countered the narrative from the left with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s data that showed maternal deaths had returned to rates from Sept. 2019 after a COVID-era spike before noting, “Dobbs was not the start of women dying from negligent pregnancy care. But it was the start of journalists having an ideological incentive to cover those deaths (if they happen in pro-life states).”

“The article focuses on alleged ambiguities in the medical emergency exception. But without any detectable fetal heartbeats, that exception didn’t even need to come into play,” the post added.

While corporate media continued to shill for the Harris campaign, reactions on social media slammed Harris and those continuing to push dangerous rhetoric.
