Open Thread | Update on Abortion Across The Country

There have been happenings in terms of Abortion Rights all across the country.

A few hours after @propublica reported that Georgia’s abortion ban killed 28 year-old Amber Nicole Thurman, JD Vance gave a speech calling the end of Roe a “victory.”

A victory for who? Certainly not for Amber. https://t.co/ee1fnUH9u5

Amber Thurman was 28 years old. She loved being a mom to her six-year-old boy.

Her last words to her own mother: ““Promise me you’ll take care of my son.”

Her son will grow up without his mom because of Donald Trump’s Dobbs’ decision and Georgia’s MAGA abortion ban. https://t.co/TTp2bO7gX1

Lawrence: Who is going to tell that boy? Who is going to tell that 6 year-old how his mother died and who is really responsible?

This morning, @KamalaHarris responds to the reporting by @propublica about Amber Nicole Thurman:

“This young mother should be alive, raising her son, and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school. This is exactly what we feared when Roe was struck down.” https://t.co/5SDmBULNyD

New: At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn’t access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state, ProPublica has found. This is one of their stories. https://t.co/ZZhqtEQdWB

Let’s not mince words. As ProPublica has made clear, Brian Kemp, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett have blood on their hands. Accessories to murder. None should call themselves “Pro-Life.”

ProPublica (@propublica) posted at 7:00 AM on Wed, Sep 18, 2024:
Doctors warned Candi Miller that another pregnancy could kill her. Under Georgia’s abortion ban, she died trying to navigate the process alone. “She was trying to terminate the pregnancy, not terminate herself,” Miller’s sister said.

I am sitting here sobbing.

November will be righteous karma for all the pain and trauma that trump and all of his enablers unleashed on women since the overturning of Roe.

Expect us. https://t.co/VGNnquJiMv

    This mother posted her TikTok videos of her teaching her son football moves to make his game better 

    People were in the comments, tagging the NFL and ESPN. They went to their local NFL team’s game this past week, and this is their interview on ESPN 🤗🤗🤗🥹🥹

    @ElectProject

    Tomorrow is 45 days before the Nov. 5 election. 45 days is an important milestone since military and overseas civilian absentee ballots must be sent no later than that day, per federal law. Election offices that won’t be open tomorrow will be sending ballots to these voters today

    I admit to being intrigued by the story of the Sheriff killing the judge in Kentucky. 

    Read a story this afternoon that the Sheriff was under investigation for not investing the possible sexual assaults of a deputy that took place in the judge’s chambers. 

    I read the story twice, and it still makes no sense to me. There’s a lot more they’re not saying.

    The sheriff who allegedly shot and killed a rural Kentucky judge in his courthouse chambers was accused in a federal lawsuit of failing to investigate allegations that one of his deputies repeatedly sexually abused a woman in the same judge’s chambers.  https://t.co/T50QsyEDOC

    A twist in the Teamsters story: Teamsters leadership has cited the Biden administration’s role in preventing rail workers from striking in 2022 as a reason for their non-endorsement of Harris. The Teamsters affiliates that represent rail workers have just endorsed Harris. https://t.co/y26DZbthS7

    I always tell my audiences the 1st time most people find it there’s an abortion ban is when they need an abortion. 👇

    Many of the patients that Dr. Chelsea Daniels sees on a daily basis are not aware of the state’s ban before they see the sign. https://t.co/dWefwLivWK

    You need a manual to work on my 1979 International Harvester Scout.

    Donald Trump and JD Vance have a manual, too. It’s called Project 2025, and it tells us exactly how they’re going to stick it to the middle class. https://t.co/e5NjTY85tX

    In Arizona they are trying to get almost 12,000 people removed from voter registration because their last names are Hispanic.

    They are claiming “possible non-citizen.”

    Possible.

    Because of their name.

    In light of this, after the Blue Wall I would spend as much as possible on GOTV in NV, NC & GA…in that order. NV’s electorate is 12% Black (22% Latino) & Trump can be tied to Robinson in NC.

    Anything left then goes to AZ & FL as abortion is on the ballot there driving turnout.

    Humanizing one of history’s monsters (while openly deriding the better person) – and claiming some kind of intellectual and personal curiosity as the reason – has been the Nuzzi stock and trade. Bad path to travel. But significant shame on @NYMag for publishing it.

    Telling that when Maggie complains about criticism, the interviewer assumes she is speaking about attacks from *Trump* supporters and Maggie’s like, “no no, the left.” This “industry” she speaks of is dipshits like us on twitter who call her out + independent journos 🙃 https://t.co/XLGDzKEvnW

    This is awesome news. Not only does bolster our fight against climate change, but it also serves as industrial policy to counter China. And this particular funding actually came from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, which some have maligned as “just a glorified roads bill.”
