September 28 is International Safe Abortion Day. Every year, thousands of people across the world lose their lives to unsafe abortions. Restrictive abortion bans, including those in the US, also have deadly consequences. Abortion is absolutely a life-saving procedure and must be accessible to all. 

We mourn and solemnly remember the tragic deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, whose lives were lost as a result of restrictive abortion laws in US states. These bans disproportionately harm Black women and exacerbate existing inequalities. These women should both still be here. All they needed was timely access to standard medical care without the threat of criminalization — instead, Georgia’s abortion ban did what all abortion bans do — delayed and denied necessary medical care, leading to the deaths of Amber and Candi. This is what we mean when we say abortion saves lives.

Vigils across the nation will honor the memory of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller. On September 28 at 2pm ET, sistersong_woc will hold a vigil and rally for Amber Thurman and Candi Miller at the Georgia State Capitol. We echo sistersong_woc in demanding a repeal of Georgia’s deadly 6 week abortion ban. Please visit their page to learn more about the rally and RSVP. 

Today, and every day, SYA reaffirms the urgent call for safe and accessible abortion care for all.
