‘It’s immoral’: Harris responds to report that said GA woman died over state’s abortion law

Atlanta, GALocal News

Vice President Kamala Harris has publicly criticized Georgia's abortion law in light of a report claiming that the legislation is responsible for the deaths of two women, including Amber Thurman. In her remarks, Harris called the situation "immoral," emphasizing the need for urgent reform in policies affecting women's health. The report indicates that the deaths may have been preventable, sparking renewed national discourse on the ramifications of restrictive abortion laws. Amber Thurman died shortly after Georgia's law took effect over two years ago, underscoring the real-world consequences of such legislation. The investigation was conducted by Channel 2’s Candace McCowan, who spoke with the reporter that uncovered these troubling details.

This situation has not only captured local attention but has also resonated with advocates nationwide who are concerned about women's rights and healthcare access. As the debate continues, it raises critical questions about the balance between state laws and the health needs of women. The findings prompt a call to action for lawmakers to reconsider the implications of their legislative choices on public health.
