FULL TITLE: Marie Stopes doctor and nurses 'bungled woman's abortion then sent her home despite symptoms of internal bleeding that killed her just hours later'
A doctor and two nurses appeared in court today charged with the manslaughter of a pregnant woman who died from massive blood loss following a bungled abortion.
Aisha Chithira, 32, had travelled from Dublin to a west London branch of the Marie Stopes clinic for the procedure on January 21, 2012 and collapsed hours later in a taxi in Slough, Berkshire.
The cause of her death was given as 'extensive internal bleeding' following the abortion, which is still illegal in Ireland.
Today Dr Adedayo Adedeji, 63, appeared at Ealing Magistrates' Court alongside nurses Gemma Pullen, 32, and Margaret Miller, 54.
All three face a charge of manslaughter by gross negligence.
They also each face a charges under the Health and Safety at Work Act of 'failing as an employee while at work to take reasonable care for the health and safety of Aisha Chithira, who was affected by your actions or omissions at work'.
CPS prosecutor Colin Gibbs told magistrates it was a 'very serious' offence.
He added: 'The circumstances are it was […] during the professional activity of the defendants.
'The defendant Adedeji is a doctor and the defendants Pullen and Miller are nurses. They were practising in a private clinic, the Marie Stopes Clinic, which is a chain of clinics that deal with terminations and abortions.

Well, it's legal.
I guess she won’t be mudering any more of her own babies.
