Amber Nicole Thurman was a 28-year-old who lived in Georgia at the time of her death in 2022. Thurman, a single mother to a young son, became pregnant with twins and sought an abortion “to preserve her newfound stability,” according to ProPublica. A trip to a North Carolina abortion clinic was hampered by delays. By the time she got there, Thurman had missed her appointment for a dilation and curettage.
