O'Donnell Chokes Up Over Women Dying Due To Trump's Abortion Ban
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell broke down into tears over Amber Nicole Thurman's preventable death due to Trump's abortion ban in Georgia. O'Donnell explained how we got here and gave former President George W. Bush credit for her death, too.
The MSNBC host noted ProPublica's jaw-dropping report, which notes that Georgia made performing a routine D&C procedure a felony with few exceptions. Thurman was left in pain in a hospital bed, thinking of her 6-year-old son as her infection spread and her organs began to fail. It took 20 hours before doctors were ready to operate, but it was too late. O'Donnell knows something about that since his mother had one, too, back when a D&C procedure wasn't considered an abortion. It is now, though.
O'Donnell noted the time that Trump asked Marla Maples, who told him she was pregnant, "What are we going to do about this?"
Donald Trump is telling American men, you don't get to have the option that I always had whenever anyone told me she was pregnant. Donald Trump could say, what are we going to do about this, every single time to a wife or a girlfriend. And now people are dying.
Bush was called out, too.
The choices made by George W. Bush and Donald Trump are now killing people.
