Kavitha Surana offers another sobering report today on how the decision of the Republican-stacked Supreme Court to rip abortion rights from women is putting American women at great risk.
She reports the story of Georgia woman Candi Miller, who found herself pregnant with doctors warning another pregnancy would be highly risky. He had diabetes, lupus, and hypertension.

Miller ordered abortion pills online then found that she could not expel all the fetal tissue and needed a D&C procedure, which she knew doctors would not perform under current post-Roe Georgia law.

"When a state committee of experts in maternal health, including 10 doctors, reviewed her case this year at the end of August, they immediately decided it was 'preventable' and blamed the state’s abortion ban, according to members who spoke to ProPublica on the condition of anonymity."

This week, we learn about Candi Miller, a Black Georgia woman who was afraid to go to the hospital to get an abortion for a pregnancy doctors had told her might kill her. She got a medication abortion, but 5% of these require an extra dose or a D&C to complete the abortion. She died at home because she knew she couldn’t get a D&C in the hospital.

"They got what they wanted. the two 78-year-olds, former Republican presidents who appointed the majority of Republican Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe vs. Wade got what they wanted. Sometimes when you get what you want, more things than you anticipate come with it."

"The question of abortion rights is not only driving voter registration, it is also helping to forge a gender gap that we’ve not seen before. A recent poll in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania by Suffolk University found a gender gap in the high teens, with women favoring Harris by 17 points—a number never before seen."
