A major anti-abortion group is seizing on the reported death of two Georgia women from untreated rare complications of medication abortion to flip the script on Democrats, who have blamed their deaths on the state’s abortion ban.
The partner PAC associated with Susan B. Anthony (SBA) Pro-Life America launched a $500,000 television and digital ad campaign this week accusing Democrats, including Vice President Harris, of spreading “deadly misinformation” about the women’s deaths.
The ads will reach cable and broadcast markets in Georgia including Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and Savannah, while digital ads will be targeted at Atlanta-area swing voters, the organization said.
According to a recent ProPublica report , Amber Nicole Thurman died in 2022 after waiting 20 hours in a suburban Atlanta hospital before doctors tried to give her the treatment she needed for an incomplete abortion.
A state medical board review said she died largely because of the hospital’s delay in treating her and called it “preventable.”
