[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Complications are inherent risk in all medical procedures. [/quote]
Yes, but patients who are diagnosed with sepsis are usually treated immediately, not the next day. The standard of care for sepsis was denied to Amber because of Georgia’s abortion laws. Someone who is pro-life should be very upset that doctors were discouraged from saving her life. A medical panel ruled that her death was preventable, despite her abortion complications. She was denied the standard of care.[/quote]

Propublica’s own publication acknowledges that there is no evidence that doctors waited because of legal risk, noting that abortion to save the life of the mother is legal:  “There is also an exception, included in most bans, to allow abortions “necessary in order to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or the substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.””

“It is not clear from the records available why doctors waited to provide a D&C to Thurman.“

“The committee does not interview doctors involved with the case or ask hospitals to respond to its findings. “

So you are just completely speculating about why the doctors acted as they did when Amber experienced rare but serious complications from an abortion pill.
