<p>A prominent conservative organization founded by former Vice President Mike Pence has denounced recent media claims that a Georgia woman died due to her state’s abortion restrictions.</p>
<p>Advancing American Freedom, which was founded by Pence, has released a fact sheet, provided exclusively to The Daily Wire, debunking the claim that Georgia woman Amber Thurman died because of Georgia’s strict abortion laws.</p>
<p>“Pro-Abortion activists and the pro-abortion media are seizing on the tragic death of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman, following preventable complications from the abortion pill, mifepristone,” the group says in the press release. “Here’s the truth: All pro-life state laws allow doctors to exercise their medical judgment to treat women with pregnancy emergencies. No law requires ‘imminence’ or ‘certainty’ before a doctor can act to save the patient’s life.”</p>
<p>The organization goes on to note that Thurman died due to complications from “a legal chemical abortion,” as The Daily Wire reported earlier. In fact, the organization said, “disinformation” killed Thurman, citing a study from Finland that found 20% of women who took mifepristone-induced abortions had complications. Mifepristone is the name for one of the chemical abortion drugs.</p>
<p>“According to Medicaid data, Mifepristone’s complication rate was approximately 100x higher than reported in data volunteered by <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23262942/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planned Parenthood clinics</a> and 273x the AE complication rate reported to the <a href="https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-18-292.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FDA</a>,” AAF added.</p>
<p>It wasn’t Georgia’s pro-life laws that caused Thurman’s death, AAF said, writing that “Georgia’s pro-life state law allowed for Thurman to receive the care she needed, ‘necessary in order to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or the substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.’”</p>

<p>The press release is in response to media reports citing a ProPublica article that never provided evidence that the delay in Thurman’s care was due to Georgia’s abortion laws, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/media-claims-a-georgia-woman-died-due-to-laws-banning-abortion-heres-the-truth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. ProPublica admits this fact in paragraph 57 of the article, writing, “It is not clear from the records available why doctors waited to provide a D&amp;C,” referring to a dilation and curettage, the medical procedure to remove the remains from Thurman’s uterus that were left after she took the abortion pill.</p>
<p>“Every death is a tragedy,” the statement from AAF concluded. “The Pro-Life Movement cannot allow the tragic death of Amber Thurman to be weaponized against life and used as a cudgel to remove any protections for women and their babies. Pro-Life leaders must make sure the American People know the truth about this tragic situation.”</p>
