Abortion clinics rushed to provide care after a judge rejected the state’s ban, an order that could soon be paused by a higher court. It’s only the latest development since ProPublica reported the deaths of Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller.
No one is shocked by this. The conservative politicians knew what the outcome would be and the people who voted for them aren’t hearing about this inside their echo chambers.
I expect that, if more conservative voters actually heard about women actually dying from these bans, some of the more moderate ones would switch sides on the issue. They’re not hearing about it, though. I brought it up with an anti-abortion family member and they hadn’t heard anything about the deaths attributable to abortion bans.
