in reply to Nonilex • • •“You’re looking at a mother that is broken,” said Shanette Williams, whose daughter, #AmberThurman, died in what was deemed a “preventable” death stemming from #Georgia’s #abortion restrictions. “The worst pain ever that a mother, that a parent, could ever feel, for her father & myself & the family—you’re looking at it.”
People in the audience were wiping their eyes by the time Thurman’s family members, including 2 sisters, finished speaking.
