Amber Nicole Thurman died of an infection after doctors were unable to perform a routine procedure called a dilation and curettage, or D&C, to clear fetal tissue from her uterus after taking abortion pills. The procedure became illegal in 2022 after the conservative majority on the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with the 6-3 decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
