Christian Newswire reported July 22nd. that a 24-year old woman died Friday, July
20, 2012, after receiving an abortion from a Planned Parenthood clinic located
at 18 S. Michigan Ave. in Chicago, Illinois.
The woman according to the report was transported from the Loop Health Center
Planned Parenthood abortion clinic to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where she
was pronounced dead at 11:20 P.M.
The report continues
An autopsy conducted Saturday determined that she died from hemorrhage following a Dilation and Evacuation abortion. The D&E abortion method is one employed in pregnancies that have advanced beyond the first trimester. In involves opening the cervix and removing the pre-born baby by dismembering him or her. The Loop Health Center Planned Parenthood advertizes abortions up to 18 weeks."Abortion deaths like this are completely avoidable. When a woman bleeds to death after an abortion, it is usually an indication of error on the part of the abortionist coupled with a delay in calling for emergency assistance. Planned Parenthood should be held accountable," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation. "Our heartfelt prayers go out to the victim's family at this time of tragic loss."This incident follows a report published in the Chicago Tribune in June, 2011, that took to task abortionists in Illinois for failing to report abortion complications and exposed the fact that some abortionists did not report complications at all, in violation of the law. At that time, Illinois officials made no attempt to enforce abortion laws in that state.While the name of the abortionist responsible for this patient death is currently unknown, Planned Parenthood's most recent 990 Tax Forms list abortionist Caroline M. Hoke as its Medical Director.The abortion death took place in Obama's adopted hometown of Chicago at a time when his administration is working hard to provide funding to Planned Parenthood through the federalized health care system."In light of this tragedy, which is yet another in a long list of Planned Parenthood abuses, we call on President Obama to immediately withdraw all Federal funding and personal support from Planned Parenthood," said Newman. "Friday's death is yet another reason why men and women of conscience across this nation cannot and will not comply with the forced funding of abortion and its intentional violation of religious liberties."
Comment
Those who campaign for abortion do so on a number of grounds, but one of their catchphrases is that it should be "safe, legal and rare". Of course it is never safe for the unfortunate baby and is frequently, as in this case, unsafe for women. This is a prime example of a legal abortion ending in a double tragedy, the death of the mother in addition to the intended death of the baby. So much for "safe and legal".
Quite apart from "safe legal abortion" causing actual death there are many cases of women having serious injuries some of which cause permanent disability.
