A pro-life political action committee (PAC) has launched a major advertising effort to combat misinformation spreading about the deaths of two Georgia mothers who took the abortion pill with fatal effects.
Women Speak Out is a partner of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. The group announced recently that its PAC partner would be sponsoring an ad campaign with the intention of “calling out Vice President Kamala Harris and pro-abortion Democrats for spreading misinformation that led to the deaths of at least two women in Georgia following complications of abortion drugs.”
The $500,000 campaign was revealed in a September 24 press release. Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and Savannah, Georgia, will see the ads broadcasted on cable TV. Additionally, digital ads have been designed to “reach target voters.” The campaign was prompted by statements from politicians and mainstream media coverage of the tragic deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, two women who died with their unborn babies after taking chemical abortion pills.

False and misleading comments were made about the circumstances of their deaths—caused by fatal reactions to the abortion pill—which was blamed on pro-life laws by left-wing media and politicians. Abortion legislation has been under the purview of individual states since June 2024, when the United States Supreme Court historically overturned Roe v. Wade and revoked the previously held Constitutional “right” to abortion in America.
The Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America release emphasized that there is no law in any of the 50 states that “prevents a hospital from treating a woman in a medical emergency,” contrary to claims that this is what happened to Thurman and Miller. It added that Georgia does not consider it a felony nor has it “criminalized” a dilation & curettage (D&C) procedure to remove already deceased baby from his or her mother’s womb.
“Women, like Amber and Candi, need the commonsense protections originally required by the FDA and to know more about positive alternatives for their pregnancy,” Heartbeat International President Jor-El Godsey told Pregnancy Help News in a statement. “Instead, they get a steady stream of abortion-mongering that preys upon their circumstances and leaves them at the mercy of DIY abortion pills.”
Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of SBA Pro-Life America, said in the organization’s press release that “Democrats led by Kamala Harris are lying about pro-life laws and women are dying.” She added that Thurman and Miller tragically died after suffering life-threatening reactions to abortion pills and “did not receive appropriate, completely legal emergency care.”
“There would be no confusion if abortion advocates were not spreading confusion,” Dannenfelser’s statement continued. “Amber, Candi and their babies should be alive today. Democrats are putting countless lives at risk, and we will relentlessly call them out.”
In April 2023, a federal appeals court ruled that certain legal challenges against the approval of mifepristone, commonly known as the abortion pill, could not prevent the drug from being accessible to women. However, the same ruling required that original restrictions put in place by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) be reimposed pending the legal outcomes.
Awareness about abortion pill risks fits into the efforts of the Women Speak Out PAC, which describes itself as a group “amplifying the voices of women opposed to abortion extremists in Congress,” per its website.
