ATLANTA — The family of a metro Atlanta woman who died after taking an abortion pill and not receiving timely care is speaking out. Shanette Williams remembers the last time she saw her 28-year-old daughter, Amber Thurmond, alive in 2022. Amber had taken an abortion pill but did not completely expel all the fetal tissue. She went to Piedmont Henry Hospital, but it took 20 hours before she received the surgery she needed.
