Tuesday, September 17, 2024 - Pregnant pause: the deadly consequence of Georgia's abortion ban

from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts

New ProPublica reporting details an unintended consequence of Georgia's six-week abortion ban: it's killed at least one (so far) pregnant woman - and likely more. Amber Nicole Thurman's story is one likely repeating since her passing in 2022, but we won't know until further data gets released by the state. There's a political distinction to this, too: conservative white men don't seem to care, nor do they want the fact that non-white women are vastly more likely to lose their life while pregnant to interrupt their sports conversations. Ask conservative radio mouth Clay Travis. Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is concerned, however. Yesterday he hosted a second local Senate hearing focusing on the very-real ramifications of Georgia's ban, enacted as the Trump-packed US Supreme Court overturned 'Roe v. Wade' with their 'Dobbs' decision. Hear two harrowing, gut-wrenching stories and insight from an Atlanta OB/GYN who's researched the state law's impact.
