Amber Thurman’s mother says ‘my baby was extremely strong’ before ‘preventable’ death
Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old woman from metro Atlanta, tragically passed away after taking an abortion pill, which did not allow her to fully expel the fetal tissue. Her mother, Shanette Williams, shared her heart-wrenching memories of Amber, who she described as "extremely strong. " After Amber took the abortion pill, she sought medical assistance at Piedmont Henry Hospital, but there was a critical delay in her treatment. It took 20 hours before she was provided with the necessary surgery, a delay that her family believes contributed to her preventable death. The family has expressed their anguish and frustration, urging the medical community to improve response times for similar cases.
This incident has sparked discussions about the importance of timely medical intervention for women facing complications after an abortion. Shanette Williams is now advocating for awareness in hopes of preventing other families from experiencing similar heartache. The situation highlights a pressing need for reforms in healthcare protocols surrounding abortion care.
