    Study Notes

    Trump's Abortion Bans

    • At least four women died after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
    • Countless others suffered.

    Arizona Abortion Movement

    • Anti-abortion lawmakers and activists claim their laws aren't responsible for suffering and deaths.
    • They are trying to absolve Trump of responsibility.
    • Evidence shows harm to women since the Dobbs decision.
    • Instead of acknowledging abortion as medical care, they blame pro-choice activists, media, and doctors.
    • Georgia examples: Governor Kemp blamed "partisan activists" and misinformation.
    • Charlotte Lozier Institute criticized abortion pills without addressing state abortion ban.
    • Abortion bans prevent doctors from providing care, leading to patient suffering and death.
    • Doctors and organizations (e.g., American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) acknowledge this.
    • Trump promised to appoint justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. He kept this promise. This led to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization 6-3 decision, allowing states to ban abortion.
    • 13 states have total bans, with limited exemptions. Doctors face potential penalties, such as loss of license or imprisonment.
    • Pregnant women in ban states face difficulties accessing essential medical care and autonomy due to the restrictions.
    • Women face delays, refusal of treatment, and potentially dangerous situations.

    Specific Examples (from the text)

    • Josseli Barnica: Died of sepsis after a miscarriage, doctors citing abortion legality issues.
    • Kiersten Hogan: Detained against her will in a hospital, leading to a stillbirth.
    • Elizabeth Weller: Forced to wait until symptoms worsened before a medically necessary abortion.
    • Amber Thurman: Forced to travel to another state for legal abortion care and complications arose after she received abortion medication.
    • Amanda Zurawksi: Suffered infection and internal injury.
    • Candi Miller: Faced pregnancy complications and refused care.
    • Kylie Beaton: Forced to continue dangerous pregnancy due to the abortion ban, resulting in a more difficult/risky delivery.
    • Samantha Casiano: Had to give birth to a baby due to the ban who lived only a short time.
    • Mylissa Farmer: Forced to travel for an abortion due to delays.
    • Kristen Anaya: Faced a prolonged delay in receiving abortion care.
