Had Avery Davis Bell had a miscarriage in Boston, where she lived until 2020, doctors could snap into action. But because she was having a miscarriage in a hospital in Georgia, surgery had to wait.

Summary

Avery Davis Bell faced severe complications with a miscarriage in Georgia, where restrictive abortion laws delayed her necessary medical care.

At 18 weeks pregnant, she was forced to wait for life-saving treatment due to Georgia’s abortion restrictions, which prevent immediate intervention unless a medical emergency escalates.

Bell’s experience highlights the risks imposed by post-Dobbs state laws, with maternal deaths rising faster in states with strict abortion bans.

The law’s impact on Bell’s experience highlights the inhumane consequences of abortion restrictions, which can lead to unnecessary suffering and even death.

    I wrote in my own name for president this time around. That way I’m sure to be 100% perfectly aligned with who I voted for. I’m sorry to hear about this but I just couldn’t vote for Harris. /s

      Harris and Biden are still currently in office. I’m not sure what kind of point you’re trying to make here.

        Let’s fast forward to the part where you tell me how they pass a law protecting abortion when the GOP owns the House.

        Doesn’t matter now. The GOP has a trifecta and SCOTUS so prepare for a nationwide ban. Very cool that we’re about to lose what little protections we have at the state level too.

          I don’t see how writing in a name for President instead of voting for Harris has any real bearing on who is in this House of Representatives. I still don’t get what point you’re trying to make here, especially now that you seem to be jumping from one subject to another.
