bush knows about the death of amber nicole thurman. it seems unlikely that he would, but it also seems likely that george w. bush, who i have never met and do not know, would have the human capacity to feel very badly about what happened to amber nicole thurman and about her 6-year- old son. growing up without a mother. but when it mattered, george w. bush did not care at all what could happen in the lives of real people. because of the way he played politics with abortion. it surely never crossed his mind who could die because of his political choices on abortion. we know for an absolute certainty that donald trump is a publicly raging narcissistic sociopath, utterly incapable of convincingly demonstrating the ability to feel sorry for anyone except himself. there actually is no public evidence that if you put donald trump in the operating room, watching amber nicole thurman die, that in that moment he would feel badly for anyone except himself for being forced to watch it. they got what they wanted. and as was predicted to them and t

as reported here last night, amber nicole thurman died on the operating table after spending those 20 hours worrying about what would happen to her six-year-old son as she felt herself dying, that little boy will someday know the full story of how his mother died and who is responsible, beginning with george w. bush who appointed samuel alito and john roberts to the supreme court and donald trump who appointed neil gorsuch in brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett to the supreme court. donald trump forgot to tell his supreme court justices when he interviewed them for the job that he believes strongly in abortion ban exceptions for , incest and the life of the mother, because those judges forgot to put that in there supreme court decision that said georgia politicians and politicians in any state can do whatever they want to any woman, like amber nicole thurman, whatever they want. republican men in state legislatures and governors offices can put pregnant women or women trying to recover from a natural miscarriage through any torture they want. that is what the supreme court said they

to any woman, like amber nicole thurman. whatever they want. republican men and state legislatures and governors offices can put pregnant women or women trying to recover from a natural miscarriage through any torture they want. that is what the supreme court said they can do. the supreme court, thanks to george w. bush and donald trump, said that little girls raped by their fathers or uncles or babysitters or stepfathers can be abused by republican men in state legislatures and republican governors, because yes it is indeed child abuse when republican men put up qualifying roadblocks that are impossible to get through for a 10-year-old girl to have an abortion to relieve that girl of her 's baby. no one in the republican party apologized to the 10-year-old girl who had to leave ohio to get an abortion. there are republicans who want every rape baby to be born, no matter what the victim of that rape wants or needs to survive. the exceptions are a lie. the republican legislature who writes those fake exceptions are lying in legislative language.

. >> two years ago, 28-year-old amber nicole thurman, a medical assistant and a single mother into a six-year-old boy, found out she was pregnant. amber had just secured her own apartment and was thinking about going to nursing school. she made the decision to terminate her pregnancy. a strict abortion ban had recently taken place in her home state of georgia, which caused amber to travel to north carolina for the procedure. traffic made her miss the appointment, so the clinic gave her the medication, what are known as abortion pills. once back home, amber it sprints to profuse bleeding, vomiting, severe pain. she eventually passed out. her boyfriend called for an ambulance. at the hospital, amber's condition deteriorated quickly but in a rare occurrence, it was discovered her body had not expelled all the fetal tissue and an infection was spreading. an expert analysis of her case said amber should have received a life-saving dnc, but doctors waited 24 hours before deciding to take her to surgery. amber's blood pressure had taken a dive, her organs started failing grade in the operat

this week, propublica introduced us to amber nicole thurman and candi miller.s who were taken from their children, whose preventable deaths would not have happened if not for george's draconian abortion ban. the story of these women is crucial, as we dismantle lives of the -- lies of the antiabortion movement. if you have been paying attention, you know that abortion is health care. and you know that it cannot be banned without threatening the health, well-being, fertility and lives of women. but for black women in this country, their health and well- being is already statistically worse. maternal mortality rates are higher and the incidence of high risk pregnancy is greater. and so the threat posed by an abortion ban is even more acute. the politics surrounding abortion and reproductive freedom have always played out differently in a black communities. the difference is rooted in structural racism which shapes major aspects of black life in america from education and politics to the economy and health care. black women's reproductive health cannot be divorced
