Cnns Priscilla Alvarez is in atlanta for us. She is following Vice President harris, give us a preview of this stuff. Priscilla brianna, weve already heard from some speakers and it is a very somber tone in this room. You hear them now chanting, were not going back, but the reason that this came together was four or what you described was that propublica reporting about the mothers who died, one of whom from a treatable infection who didnt receive medical care in time and not withstand according to this reporting from the states a border russian restriction. So this was the report that brought the Vice President here. Im told by sources that she directed her team to add this stop to her schedule. This we to talk about reproductive rights. This is a detour, of course, before she heads to wisconsin later this evening, of course, this is the campaign keeping the issue of reproductive Rights Front and center, looking for these moments to elevate and amplify these issues. And we can already get an indication of what the Vice President is going to say. You look at the signs behind me. It says one in three women lives under a trump Abortion Ban that was afraid the Vice President actually coined earlier this year in arizona, which did a similar sort of rapid Response Trip to that state over its abortion restrictions. So you can expect an impassioned response here. I will also note that the obgyn are an obgyn is going to be introducing the Vice President , but as of now, it has been a quite somber tone and we anticipate that going into the next few minutes when the Vice President is set to speak all right. Priscilla alvarez on the trail with Vice President harris. Thank you for the report for us propublica says the finding declaring these deaths preventable came from georgias maternal mortality review committee. As we mentioned earlier, propublica reports, both Candi Miller and Amber Thurman died in 2022 but the News Outlet says the findings are coming up now because the board investigated each of the cases this past summer thurmans Loved Ones spoke about the 28yearold Mother at a Campaign Event, Vice President harris attended Last Night with Oprah Winfrey. The family says they only learned of the specifics about how she died from propublicas Reporting Amber was not a statistic she was loved by a family, a strong family and we would have done whatever forget my baby, our baby. The help that she needed we had no idea. We trusted them to take care of her, you know and they just let her die because because of from stupid Abortion Ban im just so sorry with ziba brands, cetera. Shes a Senior Editor at propublica is eva. Thank you so much for being with us this afternoon. Did Georgias Abortion restrictions contribute to these two womens deaths . Thanks for having us to talk about this important reporting by Corita Serrano and other journalists at propublica. I would say the second death absolutely. The states maternal Mortality Board deemed that death both preventable and due to the states Abortion Ban because the family explicit totally, toward told the corner that Candi Miller did not go to the hospital to seek help because of the states Abortion Ban in amr Thurmans Case we dont know what was in the doctors heads. They had theyve had plenty of opportunity to say they waited 20 hours to perform. The one simple procedure that could have saved her life called the dnc and that its unclear under Georgia Law whether its legal to perform that and in that case. So who knows what was in their head, but it was ruled preventable by the statements tunnel Mortality Board im curious what you think of Georgias Governor Brian Kemp calling these claims that the laws in georgia, the Life Fact caused these deaths. Hes referring to it as misinformation. He posted something an oped in the Atlanta Journal Constitution describing that these laws were not responsible for that young moms death. Whats your reaction to that well, i think thats very interesting considering that the statements maternal Mortality Board answers to the State Health Department in georgia, which is part of the Executive Branch that Governor Kemp runs two weeks before Amber Thurman mens death. Governor kemps attorneys for the state of georgia also said that claims that woman would die. Women would be injured were fearmongering and again, two weeks later, Amber Thurman was dead and a couple of months later, Candi Miller was dead Thurmans Family was hesitant initially to come forward and speak publicly about this. What do you think ultimately led them to share her Story Sensitivity and the commitment with our reporter could be the serrano approach. This story, understanding that we had families have a right to tell their stories in a way that works for them. And we waited, we waited until they were comfortable talking to us and talk to them throughout the whole process. And its it was a Reporting Process that balance the needs of the family to come to grips with what had happened, but also the need for the family and the public to learn the truth about what is going on propublica also is exploring other potential cases like this. Can you share any details i mean, we are very interested in hearing from current and former members of state maternal Mortality Board committees in states that have Abortion Bans were very interested in hearing from families my members whose Loved Ones may have died because they didnt receive timely Abortion Care not every case in which a pregnant person dies is preventable or related to an Abortion Ban. But we believe that there needs to be more transparency in this whole process. Many of these boards, as we pointed out, operate two years behind behind these deaths and so theyre only just now getting to the deaths that have occurred under extreme Abortion Bans. So i you know, we are going to be continuing this reporting. I would urge people who are interested in this to please watch our website for additional stories in the coming weeks. Does he have a Brand Center . We appreciate your time. Thanks for joining us today thank you. Lets get some perspective now with former rnc national spokesperson, madison just sadow. And former new York City Mayor Bill to blasio. Thank you both for being with us. Meredith blasio, first to you, how do you think the Harris Campaign . Pain is using these incidents and these stories to communicate their views on reproductive rights. Who are they trying to reach . By trying to humanize the real life impacts of these restrictions while boris, i think Last Night was so powerful, i was in oakland county, michigan. Have that event . Sitting right near chanel williams, who who lost her daughter, amber, and i think that said more that story, that painful story of what that georgia Abortion Ban did and how a life was lost. A good young woman, a Medical Assistant, someone with an incredibly bright future loss because doctors would not treat her even though she her body was in christ he says her life was in danger. Doctors and Georgia Wouldnt treat her because of that State Law standing in the way. And as see the mom and the two sisters of Amber Talk about and then to watch the incredibly compassionate response from Vice President harris. I think that said more than all the Tv Ads and position papers in the world, it was very human and powerful and it happened to also be taking place in one of the locations, one of the counties thats going to decide this election for this whole country. And i guarantee you there are a lot of women in oakland county, michigan who were really feeling that personal story and relating to it. I think Vice President harris is doing think something we havent seen before for reasons of her her Lifes Path or personality, her way of communicating but also compassionate. Its coming out and i think its going to have a very powerful impact, particularly on Women Voters who have not yet made it up their mind madison, i wonder what you think because we see former President Trump trying to hold on to constituencies with different views on abortion. And it may be a difference of degrees, but there hugely important when you come to this debate, how vulnerable is he on this issue who could potentially look at a situation like ambers a situation like candies or anybody else out there whos been through what their families are going through right now and not have empathy and not understand how theyre feeling. But at the same time, i think on the left that a lot of toxic empathy in which people are using these stories to quite frankly manipulate the views of the General Public On Abortion restrictions. When the very real reality in these cases and in many others is that abortion is a potentially dangerous thing to make a choice to do. And these women lost their lives as result of that in states like georgia wasnt the madison, i do just want to stop you on that because i madison madison, i do want to stop you on that. I understand what youre saying. This was an abortion pill, which is actually incredibly safe. There are a number of medication so how very i find that also have the time that its not safe, but there is Side Effects that are listed in one of those is sepsis. And these ones cases in specifically an ampars case, she went to the hospital experiencing sepsis. Is 20 hours. Madison, if youve read the article i read it many excuse. But they waited first one, i know the detail than they waited for 20 hours, but matters, erin was the reason that us and do not represent misrepresent what happened. They waited to treat im not misrepresenting anything. They waited to treat her and thats their fault. If i was her family, id be suing for medical malpractice at this point. Theres no excuse because the law specifically states, if you look at what the law says in georgia, if the intentional killing of an unborn child in her case, there was no unborn child to kill. She already had an abortion. She had leftover Pregnancy Tissue and was Bleeding Out and obviously infected at that point. I know what its like to be on a medical table, Bleeding Out. Ive been in this position not as a result of an abortion but as a result of a miscarriage. And i2 was delayed in receiving that care and it was actually before Roe V. Wade was overturned or there was any of these confusions this happened to me, obviously, again, a miscarriage on abortion, but i know what its like and i cant imagine if my family dont have me with them today. So i sympathize with her family, but the reality is that the law in georgia allowed those doctors to give her the care that she deserved. And i dont understand why they did not do that. I think its unacceptable and her family would be unsure grateful to have here here today if they did the right thing and gave her that dnc that she needed ill see you, brianna, thats not the whole story, but i just jump in then does say clearly the Georgia Law, the georgia Abortion Ban had a chilling effect on those medical professionals. Weve been hearing and this all over the country. Lets be honest about it. I mean, they havent been able potential i listened to you just just finishing medical professionals around the country been faced with up preferred for providing lifesaving care to women. And this is what we have come upon. We have to be honest as a country, these Abortion Bans have now created an impossible situation where women and are dying who could be saved and thats what to watch that Mom Talk about. Her Daughter Hadnt been lost, who could have been saved, and that shes never coming back i mean, lets be honest about what Donald Trump unleashed with the three support of the three Supreme Court nominees that he got there, who took away Roe V. Wade, took away a womans right to choose this is now the result were seeing all around the Country Madison were trying to say something say that thats what happened in ambers case. I mean, you even heard the report from propublica where this came out saying that they also are not saying that thats, you know, Evidence Or Anything to prove that at this point. And
