🔥Georgia officials have dismissed all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women.

👉The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths.

ProPublica reported in September on the deaths of #Amber #Thurman and #Candi #Miller,
which the state maternal mortality review committee had determined were preventable.

They were the first reported cases of women who💥 died without access to care restricted by a state abortion ban,
💥and they unleashed a torrent of outrage over the fatal consequences of such laws.

The women’s stories became a central discussion in the presidential campaign and ballot initiatives involving abortion access in 10 states.

“Confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outside individuals,”
Dr. Kathleen Toomey, commissioner of the state Department of Public Health, wrote in a letter dated Nov. 8 and addressed to members of the committee.

“Even though this disclosure was investigated, the investigation was unable to uncover which individual(s) disclosed confidential information.

🆘“Therefore, effective immediately the current MMRC is disbanded, and all member seats will be filled through a new application process.”

Jesus und die Entrechteten – Ein Beitrag von Michael Haspel zum 125. Geburtstag von Howard #Thurman (18. November 1899 bis 10. April 1981) und dem 75. Jahrestag des Erscheinens von dessen Buch: »Jesus and the Disinherited«:

Even a Republican lawmaker who voted for his state’s abortion ban,
A DOCTOR HIMSELF,
told ProPublica he thinks the language is too vague.

Indeed, the death of #Amber #Thurman raises critical questions about 💥the role abortion bans are playing in the decisions of doctors in emergency situations.

Suffering from a grave infection, the 28-year-old medical assistant and single mother needed a procedure that had been criminalized in Georgia, with few exceptions.

As her condition deteriorated in a suburban Atlanta hospital, doctors discussed performing it -- but they did not do so until 20 hours after she had arrived

🔥 By then, it was too late.
A state committee of maternal health experts, including 10 doctors, deemed her death preventable
and blamed a delay in care.

Kamala Harris at Wisconsin Rally:

'Women have died because of #Trump's #abortion #bans'

Kamala Harris then said Donald Trump poses a threat to women’s freedoms, specifically on abortion rights.

She reminded folks in Madison about the former president’s selection of three members of the supreme court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v Wade, which they did.

“Women are being denied care during miscarriages,” Harris said. “They didn’t want this. And we know that women have died because of Trump’s abortion bans.”

Harris told the story of #Amber #Nicole #Thurman, a 28-year-old Georgia woman, who died after doctors hesitated to treat her following a complication from a medication abortion.

Earlier today, Harris also recounted Thurman’s story during a speech in Georgia.

The Georgia hospital that failed to save #Amber #Thurman
may have broken a federal law
🔥when doctors there waited 20 hours to perform a procedure criminalized by the state’s abortion ban,
according to Sen. Ron Wyden, chair of the Senate Finance Committee.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or #EMTALA, requires hospitals to provide emergency care to stabilize patients who need it
— or transfer them to a hospital that can.

Passed nearly four decades ago, the law applies to any hospital with an emergency department and that accepts Medicare funding,
which includes the one Thurman went to, Piedmont Henry in suburban Atlanta.
The finance committee has authority over the regulatory agency that enforces the law.
In a letter sent Monday, Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, cites ProPublica’s investigation into Thurman’s #death,
which was found #preventable by a state committee of maternal health experts.
The senator’s letter asks Piedmont CEO David Kent whether the hospital has delayed or denied emergency care to pregnant patients since Georgia’s abortion ban went into effect. (Kent did not respond to requests for comment.)

“It is my duty to conduct oversight of potential violations of patients’ rights under these laws,” Wyden wrote.
The senator asked for the hospital’s policies covering treatment of patients with emergencies that require abortion care.
He also asked for a list of personnel involved in making those decisions.
He gave the hospital a deadline of Oct. 24 to provide those and other requested records and answers.

Wyden sent the same letter citing ProPublica’s reporting on Thurman to ⚠️seven hospitals in North Carolina, Florida, Missouri, Louisiana and Texas.
♦️One letter seeks information from a Texas hospital where Yeniifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick died in 2022 from complications of pregnancy including hypertension, as reported by The New Yorker.
♦️Other letters seek information from hospitals where women have reportedly been turned away or experienced delayed care.
The hospitals’ answers could lead to proposed legislation or executive actions to strengthen compliance.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services investigates complaints and can take actions including levying fines against hospitals that violate EMTALA.

Wyden’s committee plans to hold a hearingon Tuesday,
saying in a news release it will
💥 “examine how Donald Trump’s successful overturn of Roe v. Wade and subsequent state abortion bans have threatened access to life-saving medical care for women nationwide.”

- We need to defibrillate talks,” he said. “A bit like that scene in #PulpFiction w Uma Thurman.” commission president was nonplussed by the reference to #Thurman’s character getting an adrenaline shot. “Be careful Boris,” she replied. “You’re talking to a medical doctor.”
