ProPublica reports on a 28-year-old woman in Georgia who died because she could not receive an abortion in a timely manner due to Republican-enacted state law — one of two such cases the report found.

In her final hours, Amber Nicole Thurman suffered from a grave infection that her hospital was well-equipped to treat.

But just that summer, Republicans had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison. https://t.co/FbzGiL19a1
