Medical Examiner Confirms 33-Week Abortion Killed Young Woman
The chief medical examiner s office in Baltimore has confirmed that a botched late-term abortion claimed the life of a young New York women who died recently at a Maryland abortion clinic. Jennifer McKenna Morbelli, a 29-year-old woman from New Rochelle, New York died from a botched 33-week abortion on February 7.
Now the chief medical examiner in Baltimore has confirmed she died when amniotic fluid seeped into her bloodstream, according to new entries on her death certificate. The new entry lists amniotic fluid embolism following termination of pregnancy as one of two causes of death. The second is disseminated intravascular coagulation, a condition during which small blood cots form in blood vessels. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/20/medical-examiner-confirms-33-week-abortion-killed-young-woman/
Doc Who Killed Woman in 33-Week Abortion Broke Health Laws Before
Former employees of the abortion practitioner who killed a woman in a botched 33-week abortion say he frequently broke state health and medical laws when he ran an abortion business in Nebraska.
Jennifer McKenna Morbelli, a 29-year-old woman from New Rochelle, New York died from a botched 33-week abortion. As LifeNews reported last week, papers uncovered in trash bins outside the abortion facility where a woman was killed in a botched late-term abortion are leading to questions about whether she was instructed to not go to a local emergency room after the failed abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/20/doc-who-killed-woman-in-33-week-abortion-broke-health-laws-before/
Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Closing Two Clinics in Iowa
The Planned Parenthood abortion business announced today that it will close two clinics in Iowa. The Planned Parenthood of the Heartland affiliate made the announcement that locations in Spencer and Fort Madison will be closing effective March 15.
Last March, Planned Parenthood closed their abortion clinics in Storm Lake and Knoxville. Then, mere months later in July 2012, they closed their abortion clinics in Newton and the Family Practice Center on Army Post Road in Des Moines. With these new closing, a total of six Iowa-based Planned Parenthood centers will have closed all of which either perform abortions or make abortion referrals. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/20/planned-parenthood-abortion-biz-closing-two-clinics-in-iowa/
Planned Parenthood Botched Abortion, Left Part of Baby Inside Woman
A Planned Parenthood abortion patient has filed suit against the abortion business for botching an abortion so badly that it left part of the body of the unborn baby inside her afterwards.
Attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom, a pro-life legal group, filed suit on behalf of a Colorado against Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and one of its doctors. The mother says the abortion facility forced her to undergo an abortion without anesthesia and then left part of her baby s body inside of her. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/20/planned-parenthood-botched-abortion-left-part-of-baby-inside-woman/
Sierra Club Protestors Call for One-Child Policy in the U.S.
During a Sierra Club sponsored protest against the Keystone XL pipeline on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., last Sunday, several of the protestors expressed support for population control measures including the implementation of a global one-child policy similar to China s brutal and draconian policy.
I do believe that our Earth is overpopulated, one of the protestors said in a video released this week by Americans for Limited Government. When asked if it s time for a one-child policy, the man replied, I m all for that. One child, maybe two child max. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/20/sierra-club-protestors-call-for-one-child-policy-in-the-u-s/
