Tim Walz regurgitated the debunked mainstream media’s lie that pro-life policies killed a pregnant woman, during Tuesday night’s Vice Presidential debate on CBS.
“There’s a young woman named Amber Thurman. She happened to be in Georgia, a restricted state,” Walz started.
He robotically began to repeat the twisted story of Thurman, a 28 year old pregnant woman who died after swallowing defective abortion pills she obtained out of state in an attempt to legally kill her unborn twins.
Five days after digesting the pills, Thurman contracted a fatal infection from baby remains that failed to leave her uterus. After returning to Georgia, She died during an emergency surgery before doctors had the chance to remove the infected parts left inside her.
But Walz peddled the Democrat talking point that Thurman “died in that journey back and forth” from her home state, accusing Georgia’s 6 week abortion ban of preventing doctors from helping her in time.
“The fact of the matter is how can we as a nation say that your life and your rights… as basic as the right to control your own body is determined by geography?” he asked viewers.

“There’s a very real chance that if Amber Thurman lived in Minnesota, she would be alive today,” he continued to politicize the tragedy into another reason “why we need the restoration of Roe v. Wade.”
Besides redefining the murder of another human being as “the right to control your own body,” Walz left out what actually happened to Thurman, who was only administered the deadly pills in the first place after arriving too late to her abortion appointment to receive her full procedure.
The medication, laced with mifepristone and misoprostol, was a rushed substitute that left her with “acute severe sepsis.”
Plus Georgia only restricts abortion if an unborn baby has a heartbeat, which neither of Thurman's twins had after her botched abortion attempt. The law also explicitly allows doctors to intervene in medical emergencies, as Leading OBGYN Dr. Christina Francis told LifeNews.
