Summary

Avery Davis Bell faced severe complications with a miscarriage in Georgia, where restrictive abortion laws delayed her necessary medical care.

At 18 weeks pregnant, she was forced to wait for life-saving treatment due to Georgia’s abortion restrictions, which prevent immediate intervention unless a medical emergency escalates.

The law’s impact on Bell’s experience highlights the inhumane consequences of abortion restrictions, which can lead to unnecessary suffering and even death.
