Looks like Planned Parenthood is the new “back alley abortionist”!

After Abortion She Nearly Died, Lost 80% of Blood - Woman Sues Planned Parenthood

“yet another horror story from a Planned Parenthood abortion mill” - Said to be “just the tip of the iceberg”

OMAHA, September 4, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As pro-lifers protested on Saturday at the Omaha home of Planned Parenthood abortionist Meryl Severson, news broke that Severson is being sued by a 40-year old woman whose abortion he botched.

The woman, who filed the suit Friday under the pseudonym “Jane Roe,” alleges that Severson so severely botched her abortion that she lost 80% of her total blood volume and required an emergency hysterectomy to save her life.

According to the complaint, the woman reported to the Lincoln Planned Parenthood office on August 17, 2007, for an abortion in the 8th week of pregnancy. During the suction abortion, she felt a sharp, excruciating pain and asked abortionist Severson to stop. Three employees then held the woman down while he completed the suction process in spite of her pleas.

In the recovery area, a friend who accompanied her to the abortion clinic attempted to help her to the bathroom, but the woman, who was in intense pain and bleeding, passed out and suffered the first of three seizures.

The woman was transported by ambulance to the local hospital where doctors treated her for “catastrophic perforation” of the uterus, which would have resulted in her death if treatment had been delayed any longer.

  1. Why is it that people never seem to understand that an abortion is a MAJOR surgery!!! Even if you don’t think it’s murder of a baby, it is a dangerous medical procedure that should be approached with the same trepidation you would in having an other piece of your body operated upon. Sheesh.

    The same people who seem to think nothing of an abortion… would jump through every hoop imaginable in order to keep from having something like a tonsillectomy done… Yet both are surgery, both are operating on organs with major blood flow, both can go catastrophically wrong.

    I don’t try to change the minds of people based on whether or not they believe abortion is murder… I will try to make them understand the very bad things that can and do go wrong with any surgery.

    *sigh*

  2. The reason why this happened is because doctors are not trained to aid in abortions. Therefore, if you have a crappy doctor who doesn’t know what they are doing, just as with any other surgery, you risk not having a great abortion. Therefore, doctors need to be trained on how to perform these procedures.
