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.

/1Afraid to Seek Care Amid Georgia’s Abortion Ban, She Stayed at Home and Died
A Georgia committee of experts in maternal health recently deemed Candi Miller’s death “preventable,” ProPublica has learned. The group, which includes 10 doctors, directly blamed the state’s abortion ban.

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."

@wdlindsy Hmm...something, something ... pro life...something, something...pro life...blah, blah.
This isn't the Bronze Age anymore. Blood is on their hands. Unfortunately, there is no God to set this right so we must do it ourselves. We just have to do it.

@shuttersparks I'm all for setting this right. And as I work to do that, I'm going to welcome collaboration with many people who do believe in God and who are motivated by their religious faith to push hard for equal rights and justice for everyone. I see little to be gained, as we build broad solidarity across many lines of difference, by setting myself up arrogantly as some kind of authority figure to mock the sincere religious beliefs of others.

@wdlindsy It was not my specific intention to mock anyone's religion. I apologize.

@shuttersparks When you say, "There is no God," I recognize that many people hold that view, and I respect their right to do so and have learned much from people who challenge and reject theism and religion. But at the same time, I know people whose commitment to change the world in very desirable ways stems from their strong belief in God, and I defend their right to hold onto their beliefs, and I respect what those beliefs lead them to do.

@wdlindsy I feel the same way. I was focused on making my point in my own way and failed to take the sensibilities of others into account. In doing so I violated one of my own rules: never insult someone by accident.

@shuttersparks Thank you for your kindness and patience with me, who tend to grouse. I appreciate you.
